Anyone who assumes every day goes perfectly -- at best -- is an overly optimistic person. Naive may be a better description. We cannot control every circumstance in our lives. We can't control everything that goes on in another person's life, either. Accepting the fact something troubling may occur lessens the shock when it does happen. When in a relationship, you must also accept things outside your control happens.

In other words, troubles may befall your partner. A truly loving paramour won't blame his partner for any inconveniences nor will he walk away from the situation. He accepts the case and works hard to help his partner during a rough situation.

Commitment doesn't refer exclusively to happy times. The right life partner shows commitment during dark days when others might abandon you.

Coming Up with Solutions

A loving partner won't dump responsibilities on your lap. He also won't be too reactive. The partner will take steps to come up with solutions. If he's not able to solve the problems on his own, he will seek out others who can help.

You won't be left in the proverbial lurch trying to address things on your own. Nor will you suffer the indignation of seeing someone walk out the door when you need that person the most.

People prove their love through action. What does he do when things are going tough for you? Does he put forth the extra commitment and initiative to make sure things work out for the best?

Love must become the source of the strength the two of you share. Real love generates the necessary bond to help one another when troubles emerge.
