One of my main values is to be a committed partner in my relationship. I wasn't always someone who valued commitment. In the past, I framed commitment quite differently then I do now. 

Even the dictionary has two completely different ways to frame commitment. One way describes it as being dedicated, devoted, loyal, having a bond, and being attentive. The other way is quite the opposite. It is described as an obligation, restricts freedom, responsibility, is an obligation, and a liability. 

I thought that was crazy that the same word can have two complete different meanings! 

After reflecting on this I realized that I used to see a relationship and commitment as the latter meaning. I saw it as an obligation and a restriction to my freedom. I explain how and why I now frame commitment as one of my main values.

In this episode I will share all the benefits that commitment can provide, and what might be holding you back from being committed in a relationship.

I also share my PERSONAL vows from our wedding, I break them down and explain why I chose these words and explain the meaning they have to me and our marriage. 

I hope you enjoy this vulnerable episode!
