Lack of Commitment-A Common Cause of Divorce

The dictionary defines commitment as a pledge to do. It also says commitment is the state of being emotionally or intellectually bound to a cause or a person. Both of these definitions perfectly describe the marriage commitment. We pledge to do when we repeat out marriage vows. The marriage vows then bind us emotionally to our spouse. But what happens when that commitment isn’t real or isn’t very strong….marriages fall apart every day because of lack of commitment.

Ideally commitment builds over the time that a couple is dating and becomes strong enough that nothing can destroy that commitment. Sadly, that doesn’t always happen. Many times a couple gets married even though the commitment to the relationship is not strong enough to warrant marriage. A couple must be committed not only to each other but also to the marriage relationship.

Part of the problem with commitment is the attitude today toward marriage. Marriage is a serious step, that many people treat as a trial. Well they say, if we don’t get along or don’t want to be married we can always get a divorce. Why would you enter in marriage with that kind of attitude? If you are not committed 100% to making the marriage work on your wedding day, you should never take that walk down the aisle.

Marriage is hard work. It will never be a bed of roses. Marriage requires sacrifice from time to time. It requires that you love your spouse even on days when they might be really unlovable, and they have to do the same for you. It requires finding a way to work through whatever problems come your way and still come out the other side loving your spouse. That is what commitment really means.
