"Commitment is a response, not an initiative. Unless there is something that evokes from us a desire to be committed we will never be able to make that leap. Underpinning all commitments by men and women is the belief that God is committed to us. We can see all too clearly that in the absence of the rising sun of salvation, we do not have the confidence to leap on our own." - Mark Barrett Crossing: Reclaiming the Landscape of Our Lives
Interesting quote when applied to many things, but in light of recent personal events, I am taking it somewhat out of context to apply to the commitment of marriage. Interesting how some people can view commitment in general as "settling down" or "the old ball and chain", whether it is a spouse or a job or children or an extracurricular activity.
