“Commitment is another name for relationship not the compromise.”

“Relationship is about forgiveness and compromise. It is about balance where one person complements each other.”

“In a relationship, I’m committed to giving her 100% of 50%.”

“I'm not talking about commitment to romantic relationships. I'm talking about commitment to things: houses, jobs, neighborhoods. Having a job that requires a contract. Paying a mortgage. I think when men hear that women want a commitment, they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship, but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life.”

“No one should ever compromise the dignity of another human being.”

“The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt, but in spite of doubt. (p. 21)”
