Episode 207: The truth about commitment

The ugly truth about commitment is that if you are committed up until the point that you aren’t, you were never committed to begin with. And it’s this ”uncommitted commitment” that is one of the factors primarily responsible for the sorry state of dating today. Even our highest form of commitment -- the institution of marriage -- has become an at-will relationship that can be unilaterally terminated by one party at any time, at no fault of the other, and often to the benefit of the party breaching the agreement. And this is the outcome that occurs more than half of the time. Such a commitment is a liability, as it gives people the illusion of security that is not supported by the reality of the agreement. #commitment #marriage #relationships
