They are making a commitment.
Not a promise that life will be easy.
Not a promise that nothing will go wrong.
A commitment that whatever comes, they will remain present.
They will carry the burden.
They will face the uncertainty.
They will stand when standing becomes difficult.
Perhaps that is why those words bring such relief.
Because there is comfort in knowing you do not have to carry everything alone.
Yet there is another side to those words that is often overlooked.
No relationship can thrive when commitment flows in only one direction.
If one person gives 100%, the question is not whether the other person carries the exact same responsibilities.
The question is whether they bring the same level of commitment.
The same level of appreciation.
The same level of loyalty.
The same level of effort.
The same willingness to invest in what is being built together.
Because relationships are not sustained by sacrifice alone.
They are sustained by reciprocity.
By knowing that what is given is seen.
That what is sacrificed is valued.
That what is carried is appreciated.
Perhaps the strongest relationships are not built when one person says,
Perhaps they are built when both people, in their own way, are able to say:
What do you think creates a stronger relationship:
One person carrying everything…
Or two people fully committed to carrying it together?
