![]() ![]() ![]() In Sealing the Deal, I devote three entire chapters to not only building self-esteem but also setting the stage for commitment how to have the talk so he will listen and what to do if he/she won't commit. It's important that you develop your sense of SELF-WORTH if you expect your partner to really value you. My question to you is this: if you are not going to be there for yourself, who will be? ![]() If you've been with your partner in an exclusive relationship for at least two or so years and he/she shows no signs of wanting to make it permanent by getting married, the first thing you have to do is to decide if you are really committed to having love in your life? Are truly committed to yourself and your dream of a committed, married relationship? Usually, if things drag on in an uncommitted state much beyond a few years, the relationship will tend to go downhill and eventually die. All this varies considerably from couple to couple. Have you ever been involved and in love with someone for months, or even years, only to find that they simply cannot or will not take that next step into living together or marriage?įirst, you should know that the average time for a couple to move from dating to a committed relationship, with a future that includes living together or getting married, is from nine months to four years. Maybe you are in a long term ON-AGAIN, OFF-AGAIN relationship where one or the other of you periodically withdraws or sees other people. And you wonder, Is it me? Is it my partner? Will I ever have a committed, solid and lasting relationship? Should you have "the talk" about where things stand? Maybe you blurted out something about the future only to find your heart sinking as your Beloved pulls away and actually leaves you. ![]()
