Hi! Some days my boyfriend and I were talking about if we should live together but for me it is important to get married because I have a little baby and also because it is one of my dreams and I told him that we should make a commitment then he asked what is for you a commitment? I got a bit ashame :confused: because I couldn't answer him in a right way so I need you help me to find the best meaning what commitment means between a couple.

Thanks so much.

A commitment between a couple, is an agrreement to work together, and build a life where they can both be happy.

Basically. I agree. If I were to have a commitment into a relationship, I'd want to know that the other person is fully WILLING and sure of what they want before going through with it. Because once you make a big decision like that, it is hard to go back and if you need to go back, that can really hurt the relationship. I don't have much more to say other than just have consideration for yourself and what you want and make sure everything will go the right way. Talk it over with them and plan step by step carefully. Don't just get the money for a place and then go, you need a plan for how to keep that money going. GOOD LUCK =)

Marriage is commitment, not living together. If you love each other enough to move in, but not enough to marry, then you really need to consider why or why not. Look at the long term. Like 10 years from now, and how your baby will be affected one way or the other. Moving in together doesn't have a high success rate, from the statistics I have been exposed to. God bless you in your working it all out!
