"Commitment is something grander than sticking around to work out problems. It is saying to your partner that he is your number one priority, not necessarily the person who provides the best sex or is the smartest or the wealthiest or most fun to be with. Like a parent to a child, you're dedicated to the relationship, not just the person, to making it work despite obstacles. You're also willing to sacrifice some of your preferences for the good of the relationship. Your partner is saying the same things to you, and for both of you the relationship is not so much a contract you can't escape but a team you won't quit... You come to appreciate each other's differences and learn from them, explanding on who you are in a way you could not have done alone."
A quote from Unhooked, explaining some of the better things in life that the younger generations are largely missing.
