Love, relationship, and break-ups are matters of heart. Relationship requires commitment. So, are you ready for commitment?
Meghna and Tushar had a break-off after being in the relationship for a year. Two weeks after their break-up, Tushar started dating other gal in his college. Soon he started feeling that he is not quite happy with this relationship. Why did it happen? Tushar did a mistake by being committed immediately after ending the relationship with Meghna. Is it possible to find out if we are ready for commitment or not? Of course, it is possible. Ask yourself following questions and know if you are ready for commitment or not.
Is it love or infatuation?
Answering this question will make you decide whether to take further step or not. You might be just attracted to that particular person. A date or a few meetings are not enough to take things ahead. You may need to know each other better. If it is infatuation, feeling may fly out of the window within a few days. When you say, 'I have a crush on someone' that does not mean you are in love. If your relationship has a kind of maturity and understanding you can say that you are ready for commitment.
Are you compatible with your partner?
Compatibility is one of the important factors when you are thinking of committing to someone. Are you financially, socially, religiously, spiritually, physically and intellectually compatible with your partner? It is perfectly alright to have some differences, but it not healthy to have vast differences. If your partner does not appreciate you ambitions, it is not worth a commitment. Of course you can work on some differences. If you think you are compatible to your partner in all ways, you need not hesitate to commit.
Are you ready to give time to the relationship?
Relationship demands time. Once you are sure that it is love, you need not look back. But apart from the feeling of love, a relationship demands a lot more. You need to give a lot of time to the relationship. Being committed will change your way of living. You will need to travel a distance to meet your partner once in a while. If you are moving in together then you will need to spend a quality time together. If both the partners are not spending enough time together, it will affect your relationship. No wonder why long distance relationships suffer so much.
Are you ready to introduce your partner to your family?
Why would you need to hide your relationship if you are ready to commit? Are you sure you are ready to take him or her to your parents? Are you sure they will be happy about your relationship? If you feel you are all set to introduce your partner to your parents, there is no harm to commit. If something hinders you from letting your kith and kin know about your relationship, it is time to rethink.
Are you over your past relationships?
Past relationships can play havoc in your relationship, if you have not got over them. It is better to cut all the ties with your exes before committing to that someone special. Would you like your partner to be in contact with his exes? Ask this question to yourself and decide what is more important, being friend with your ex or having sound relationship with your partner.
Is marriage on cards in the future?
You are dating a handsome guy or a cute gal but you are not sure if you want to be committed. The depth of your relationship can be gauged by analyzing the comfort level between you and your partner. Talking about marriage might be too early, but what is the use to be in a relationship that does not have any future. There is not any harm to talk about marriage after spending a few years together.
Someone has said that love lasts when the relationship comes first. Commitment obliges you to be responsible. A relationship without a commitment is like a clock without batteries. True love requires commitment and commitment is nothing but a true love. Once you are committed, you are responsible for your each word and every action. So, are you ready for commitment?
