I did all of the above in my last relationship and apparently, it just wasn't good enough. As far as number five, I was faithful to the point that there was never a temptation. AS a matter of fact, it never crossed my mind.
Yes, I vowed to do that; didn't always work. Didn't happen too often, though.
2. Vow to keep your romance going even when you're not feeling romantic.
That's an ingrained thing, I think. I'm a romantic person, so it's just always there.
3. Vow to be honest.
Again, I AM honest; it's not something I have to "vow" to do.
4. Vow to take care of yourself.
Well...admittedly I didn't do that very well. Drank and smoked. But ...now I am!
5. Vow to stay faithful even when tempted.
Not an issue. I don't get tempted while in a relationship. Or...if/when I do..that's a sign to move on because there's something seriously wrong with the relationship.
6. Vow to cultivate intimacy.
Well, slap my pig and call me Farmer! I'm all about intimacy and communication.
It's a good list of what to keep in mind and practice, however promises don't automatically equate to guarantees. Did all that during marriage and it still wasn't enough.
Will be getting married on Jan.13th. We are learning more about each other as the days go buy. Another very important one is never let that person you love walk out that door without a kiss and an I love you. As I have been through it, you never know if those may be the last words you utter. Stay true to yourself, your heart and staying true to the love of your life will only be a natural response.
