When To Commit ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ’‘๐Ÿ’

When it comes to relationships, there are three significant levels of commitment that come into play and need serious consideration.

Dating

When dating someone, you are committing your time, emotions, finances, energy, trust, loyalty  to them. It is therefore important for both partners to be mature enough before engaging in such a commitment. Mental maturity is key as the partners should have the mental capacity to handle all the emotions that come about in the course of dating.  The partners should also have the time, energy to engage in such a commitment.
Get into this commitment when you are fully aware of what it entails and are mentally mature to handle it.

Making love

This is a huge commitment in itself but it's significance tends be overlooked. Here one is trusting their partner with their body and emotions and submitting to them. This signifies a much deeper emotional connection and seeks to create a physical bond between the partners.
This commitment should be engaged in when the partners are completely sure of what they feel for each other and the feeling is mutual, both partners should have no doubts and should've built a deep emotional connection.
I believe the best time is in marriage since it is rigid and the partners are completely sure about each other, an eternal emotional connection has already been built.

Marriage

This is literally committing your life to someone. Your life becomes your partner's and their life becomes yours. You are committing everything. You become intertwined. This is therefore the greatest commitment in a relationship, it's forever!
The partners should have complete trust and knowledge of each other. They should have built a deep emotional connection where they are really sure of what they feel for each other. They should be mature and stable enough to handle the responsibilities that a marriage brings about.

It's all in the timing๐Ÿ˜‰

Forbidden Love; The Age Factor

So let's first start with my own viewpoint on this issue; I personally feel that the age difference really counts and should be considered in a relationship. This is why: Too much of an age difference causes a conflict in the partners' interests and priorities. It will be hard to do activities or go places together. Different motives of getting into the relationship. The issues of relationship goals also factors in here; one partner is in it for a long time commitment but the other is just doing it on the spur of the moment. The much older partner tends to look down on the younger partner in terms of lesser experience and knowledge in matters of relationships. This creates a superior-inferior feeling among the partners which is not healthy in a relationship. Little or no age difference at all is also kinda risky. The partners' mindsets are not far from different.They think almost the same way. This might bring in some sort of conflict in the relationship as ...

๐Ÿคท Playing hard to get๐Ÿ˜ OR just not interested ๐Ÿ˜’

We all have those moments when you just don't know how someone really feels about you. One moment you're thinking, they are probably just playing hard to get then they do something that gets you thinking they are totally uninterested and that you should back out. So let's just get the facts right and clear all those doubts we all have. The key pointers can be spotted in these areas; Conversations It could be a phone call, text message or a face to face conversation, whichever it is.. you could pick up a lot. Let's see how.. playing hard to get: First of all, they are able to have small talk with you which is often quite difficult for most people.

In a group c...

wait๐Ÿ˜‡ OR settle๐Ÿ˜

I recently saw something that sent chills down my spine. You see the way people nowadays hold up signs saying "I need a job" , well that one said "I need a husband" . It got me thinking of what could have possibly led to this situation and how to evade it.. Fun๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿธ In their twenties, most girls are always saying NO to dudes that are interested in something serious with them especially when words like; marriage, future, kids are used. They'd rather 'enjoy' in relationships that aren't serious because they are either afraid of commitment or feel like they are still too young to think of the future. By the time they are finally ready to settle down, all the husbands have already been taken and they become frustrated and desperate. My take; Mental stability is all you need to go into a relationship. There is no specific age. Do not be             afraid to get into it when you feel you are mature enough to handle one. Remember this is   ...
