Have we completely lost the value of commitment?

Everyone seems to think the next best thing will finally bring them happiness – and unfortunately we are translating this same habit into our relationships.

Do you agree? Let me know in the comments below!

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been dating now for 7 years and it seems that most are looking for what’s around the corner or the next best thing. It seems Loyalty, Honesty, monogamy and just old fashioned dating has been lost….I have hope but it’s frustrating.

Not to be old school…I appreciate the new video blog posts but I can’t watch them at work! And I don’t do much on the computer when I’m home. Bring back the written blog posts so I have something to read on my “lunch break!” Or give me some closed captions haha : )

Lookin’ good, James! 😉 And soooo well said!

My favorite line: {We’re not taking the time to cultivate the attitude and the personality that it takes to commit to something for the long term.}

Thanks for this post.

Absolutely! I am a successful attractive female and it seems most men these days have no concept of dating, chivalry, commitment — prefering hookups and fantasy through internet immersion to real life women, sadly.

I am hard of hearing and wear hearing aids…I love your blog and posts on Facebook – that is where I first found you. I would love to see CC on your videos! I do like your videos…it is a more ‘personal experience’ on your blog! I just can’t hear them 🙂 When my boyfriend of 7 years broke up with me (yet again!) in May 2016 your blog really helped me!! I continue to heal and I know that it will take time.

Have you considered that commitment isn’t a value wired into our DNA? All of life thrives with variety. In hundreds of insect species, the female kills the male after mating. The percentage of women that self-report being in affairs now approaches the percentage of men; the gap of 40% having been closed in the past four decades as women have become more honest in surveys. Ten percent of babies born in wedlock in the USA aren’t the child of the woman’s spouse. In a survey of men dying, the number one regret was not having been with more women. Your “movement” just might be in conflict with our natural biology. The value you bemoan having been lost may never have been there in the first place.

2 years! Who would've thought that two years ago today when @rachel.xtina and I first started exchanging messages at the beginning of a global pandemic, that we'd be here now celebrating an #anniversary AND an #engagement?!

Shout out to @lafina_steakhouse for a superb #dining experience, making the day extra special. And thanks to my parents for watching the girls!

A few weeks ago I decided I wasn't getting the pro

A few weeks ago I decided I wasn't getting the progress I wanted in the gym, so I made some changes. Primarily, basically completely cutting out alcohol.

Those empty calories were going directly to places I didn't want them and I was tired of my results not reflecting the amount of work I put in.

So, I cut that out, started consuming significantly more protein, we get much better sleep now living on a quiet cul de sac, and have been much more mindful about food consumption.

As a result, I've been pushing *a lot* harder in the gym. Clothes are fitting me MUCH better. My energy and mood are enhanced, and I don't even crave alcohol.

I believe in moderation. If the craving arises, I'll have one small drink. If the kids are making chocolate chip cookies, I grab one (or two...). If we go out to dinner or order takeout, I don't worry about the calories in the food.

This is because progress is important to me, but so is enjoying life and having a healthy balance.

I am VERY excited to see what I am able to accomplish without being held back by unnecessarily restrictions.

Here's to you removing your boundaries to success, as well. Get after it - whatever "it" is for you. 💪

It’s not “me and me,” it’s “we.” When

It’s not “me and me,” it’s “we.”

When you’re a “we,” you make decisions together. You have common goals and visions for the future. You support and encourage each other. You lend them your strength in their times of need. You celebrate alongside of them when they win, and comfort them when they lose.

This is how you create and sustain a bond over the long term, by committing to living your life in accordance with it.

The kids, the obligations, the bills, the work, the family life, all of it needs to be given attention, love, and priority. All areas of life are important in their own ways, and it’s also true that all areas of life are affected by the person you choose to spend it with.

Their positive or negative energy will impact your mood. What they say will linger in your mind. How they make you feel will affect your performance at work and at home.

Choosing the right partner is one of the most important things you’ll ever do.

But, you don’t just choose them one time.

You choose them every single day when you wake up in the morning and live within the reality of that relationship. That is the central foundation of everything else you will do and create.

Relationships are like a fire — you must stoke it consistently if you want it to keep burning. If you do it right, it’ll keep you warm forever.

A lot of people are posting photos from gas stations to complain about high prices. This isn't one of those posts.

This post is to remind you that no matter how much you pay for gas, the price isn't your home, your life, or your loved ones.

Keep it in perspective.
