    A commitment to one's partner may very well be worth the cost. A commitment to one's spouse, on the other hand, is absolutely, certainly, without a... doubt, worth the cost. Many good marriages have been divorced simply because one partner or other has been unwilling to pay the cost of commitment. That is really the biggest issue with marriages today: it is so easy to divorce that even good marriages are lost, because the people in those good marriages have lost the vision that they promise to. "In sickness and in health" means commitment, whether that sickness is emotional or psychological, relational or, yes, physical. Commitment to a partner is trivial compared to that commitment between a man and woman bound in marriage. But that doesn't mean it doesn't mean something to you. Take your time to weigh it out. People say follow your heart. I think we need to balance that with duty and commitment. Consider the duties you have with your family; the commitments you have made. Then decide.  more

    Many have chosen a relationship over a career opportunity. Many have chosen a career opportunity over a relationship... and regretted it. The reviews... here are mixed, in part because of how much context we are missing. You have the details of your life. We don't. So, the choice is yours. You might consider the following questions: How is my relationship with my partner? How much do I value the commitment I have with my partner? If partner is not also spouse: Would I consider marrying my partner [a marital situation Requires that the Commitment to one another be Prioritized.]? How many blessings do I have right here where I am? How many blessings can I anticipate in the place I might move to? What kinds of people can I bless right here in this place, because I know them? Can I find similar work right here? Can my partner find similar work to his current job there? What things that are important to my partner can be found there?  more
