During the weekend, I was able to watch online movies showcasing different stories of love. One involving two faithful and highly committed lovers, the other concerns parties trying to patch things up with that meager hope to bring their relationship back to normal, and another one about two people searching for their other halves in life.
At my age, when everyone expects to see my arms already cuddling a child and serving my husband, I can’t still figure out why some (if not many) invite wreckage albeit the relationship they are into is free from complications. In fact, theirs belongs to a few admirable partnerships that people wanted to have. They said it’s the animalistic feelings that draw the lovers together but reality teaches us that there is no stability on human emotions; such can barely be trusted.
You don’t stay with the person simply because you know that you’re liked or loved — you must be bound by the commitment to love and respect each other. You commit to do everything to keep the relationship alive and beneficial to you and to the person you love. You grow in being responsible to each other’s welfare. You learn to be transparent with your every decision in life because, most of the time, it involves the two of you already. You give and receive, get mad and reconcile, get disappointed at times and make up shortly after each misunderstanding. You commit to love.
The wrecker of all time has continuously put stain to many relationships. People do invite it to come and mess up things altogether. If you’re getting married and letting someone else in, giving the person part of your time and attention, you’re crossing a broken bridge. Don’t expect your fiancé to be happy while seeing you giggling with someone at the roadside. Don’t expect people not to talk about you because you’re the one plastering the headline news on your forehead.
Relationships are precious because it is where establishing a family starts. You don’t call God to bless you only at the altar where you make a promise to a crowd of witnesses to love each other for a lifetime, and will later on break that simply because the feelings are gone. You get down on your feet for the Lord’s guidance at the moment you realize that you wish to begin a relationship with the person you love.

Love is not just a word or feeling or a thrilling emotion
— it’s an action word and it dies gradually without commitment.
