The Tragic Fear of Commitment and Marriage
Many individuals are hesitant to commit to marriage due to fears of risks, potential betrayal, and the painful consequences seen in their parents' divorces. This fear can lead to a desire to avoid meaningful connections, resulting in bitterness, cynicism, and loneliness. While life inevitably involves hurt, it is crucial to confront these fears rather than retreat into a protective cocoon. Embracing a commitment fosters security not only for oneself but also for partners, leading to deeper relationships and fulfillment. Commitment enhances life experiences, especially in parenting, where love and joy flourish through dedicated connections. However, the avoidance of commitment often reflects a tragic decision driven by past pain and the desire to keep options open, which ultimately trivializes life and leads to superficial relationships.
