The second secret of a fulfilling marriage is Commitment.

To be committed means to be dedicated and sold out to a cause. It means someone or something has your 100% engagement, and you are obligated to pay attention to them 24/7. That is the call of marriage. The word LOVE is not a four-letter word, it is ten letters, it is spelt C-O-M-M-I-T-M-E-N-T. A fulfilling marriage is that of commitment: Commitment to each other’s individual growth, commitment to the institution of marriage, commitment to the person you vowed to love. That your spouse is not starved of attention, they are not competing with friends and family for your care. They know they have it because you freely gave it to them. When two people are thus committed to each other’s personal growth and peace, their marriage thrives, and their mental well-being is assured.

Are you committed to your marriage? Are you committed to your spouse?
