It is a tragic flaw of humans to take things for granted. Things that they possessed, things that they have done. We are so used to such things that the words “take things for granted” never come to mind. And when we lose them, we feel so bad and finally understood the meaning behind those words. That’s too late. And it’s unfortunate that it applies to relationships. And it takes a bang against the wall or something to make us wake up.

Committed relationships are often taken for granted, just because we are too comfortable around each other, we forget how important they are to us. Commitment does not necessary mean marriage, it could just mean the other is spending huge amounts of time and efforts on you, or with you. We must learn not to have a “lazy “view on things, and open our eyes wide to appreciate what we have.

Does your partner appear in front of you whenever you are feeling sad? They may not appear magically but will appear just after a phone call. They are the ones who listen to you when the whole world is ignoring you. It is a sin to forget these.

He or she may have already taken you to meet their parents, friends and relatives. This is a special privilege to show that you are already part of their world and they way to introduce you to you the other “residents” of their world. You should feel glad and proud by this.

It will take time to know whether your relationship is a committed one. Time allows people to each other deeper. Therefore, take time to observe your date, listen attentively to him or her, so that you may find signs that the other person is committed to you.

A good relationship is one that requires long periods of commitment. It may be lifelong in cases of an eventual marriage. If you have the above mentioned factors in your love life, treasure the person and always appreciate him or her, even in times of misery and self-doubt. 
You will not want to take things for granted. Hold them close to you forever and never let them go.
