The Grove - Commitment

Commitment is the foundation of any relationship. Without it there is little motivation to maintain the relationsip or help it to grow. So, it is beneficial and wise to be up front and honest in agreeing on the level of commitment between you. Are you committed to being friends? Are commited to being sexually monogamous? Commitment isn't just in these areas. Be very clear on what you're committed to so your relationship is based on trust and certainty. If you know what you are committed to you know what each other's responsibilities are.

*Emotional Commitment*		The relationship is vitally important, and that the love you bear for each other is the "feeling" bond between you.
*Physical (& Sexual) Commitment*		You agree that you will care for each other in "sickness and in health", and that you will not have other sexual partners.
*Mental Commitment*		You both agree to pursue personal growth and are committed to learning new things and exploring new avenues. Stagnation can be the death of a relationship.
*Spiritual Commitment*		You are blessed by your love, and you stay connected to the Divine (Higher Power, God, the Creator - whichever you feel most comfortable with), fostering each other's spiritual life (no matter the path).
