Do you have to be married to be truly committed?

i dont think you have to be married to be committed. i think marriage is more of a celebration OF your commitment :) ..

Marriage is far more than a committed relationship all the best urban

For me yes it is the law of Jehovah God married first so that you life more blessing and not commit sin like fornication.

For me, marriage is the culmination of my love and a confirmation of my commitment to the one i love. It is still the sacred thing to do, to profess to your family and friends of your commitment to love each other until the end of your lives. So far, i have been married for more than 20 years. Though married life is not at all a bed of roses, i can say that we really make an effort to stay committed and happy as we are.

Not really, even after married if one partner is not responsible or fully commit also can end up divorce. Therefore, is better that both have love, respect and loyal and committed to each other forever.

Personally i don't want to get married ever but people around me think that i have a commitment issue. It's weird because in the past i've dated only three girls (not at the same time) and each of them want me to marry them, and each time i explain that i don't want to get married they all broke up with me and decided that we better of as friend. After a while one of them get married and now just after 3 years they divorced. So i still don't think married mean truly committed

I am made differently. I will never marry so the only way to be committed to my guy is to love , respect,and support him. I never saw marriage and love mixing for me. I would have to choose one Or the other. By age 13 I chose love.I mean by age 13 I decided I will never marry and nothing has changed. I believe it is the connection that matters, But for me, ans only me, when you mix it with marriage it will die. So I choose to love freely and happiness than Having to marry and see what love there is die.

For me marriage is still important as this is a sign or real commitment I mean if you not married then for me it's not really complete at all and it's my own opinion and also divorce does not exist in our country and it's only annulment.I do still believe in marriage and those people who are rushly getting married, it's not great all,I want to plan it if I will marry later.

I don't think you have to be married to be committed. Heck lits of married people aren't as committed as people in relationships I've been married more than once. I'd never get married again. But I would be in a relationship with a committed partner.

hmmm I personally wanted to get married as a sign of total commitment to my partner. Before I met and married the one I am together with now I was in a relationship where I felt very committed even without being married but I hoped that my partner would want to marry me one day to show how committed he is to me and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Unfortunately that was not what he had in mind but he only wanted the sugar icing of the cake of a relationship so we parted ways. My now husband has been very committed from the beginning of the relationship and I value this cause I feel really secure with him and would not trade him in for anyone else.

No, I think getting married says something, it's a commitment you commit, that's why people are afraid of it, because of the fear to commit. Some people see it is a huge anchor, stopping you in life, it's a big deal, getting married. You declare that, you're in love, and you never want to be set apart, I'd say that's more of a commitment than just being together, don't you think?
