Commitment

Kristie Claar on May 28, 2009

Births to unwed mothers account for 40% of all births in the U.S.

People are no longer looking for it.

Most avoiding it, terrified of it.

Many are afraid of never finding it.

Those who find it are scared of it.

LOVE without COMMITMENT is allowed but not accepted.

COMMITMENT without LOVE is too often found.

THE COMBINATION TOGETHER – RARE.

    This was written some time ago, but recently hearing the statistics of unwed mothers in the U.S. made me want to share this.

    Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

    God Bless!

    Commitment is sadly lacking in UK and people walk out of marriage easily.
