WEEK 3 - Discussion/Written Work (for W2)

 1. Why is COMMITMENT important in relationships?

    The main goal of making a commitment is for both people to feel a sense of security. Not only is it about dedicating your love and self to your partner, but it also deals with the actions that you need to do to maintain your relationship. Although the degree of commitment differs in every relationship, it is still an important part of every relationship as it helps both parties to grow. If there is a commitment in the relationship, there will always be a sense of trust and comfortability that will reassure the people’s mutual understanding. When your relationship has commitment, you will be more likely to have no problem, or at least be able to solve problems together, rather than fight about it. 

2. What is "CLOSURE" in a relationship? Why is it important?

In relationships, closure involves knowing the reason why it has ended. Having closure helps you accept all the reasons why the relationship had to end. Closure is important because it will help you move after the terminated relationship. It will remind you that you are ready to move on and accept a new chapter in life. At this point, having you would have cried all your tears from the previous relationship, which means you have finally accepted the end.

3. If you were in a situation similar to the girl, how will you move on?

First, I would want to cry it all out, even listen to music so that I can cry my eyes off easily. Then, I would remind myself that feeling these overwhelming emotions are normal and valid, so I must give myself some time to mourn the end of our relationship. Of course, I know that I might blame myself for everything, but then I would try to forgive and remind myself that it is not my fault entirely, but it is both ours for a relationship will always be a “two-way street”. Once I have forgiven myself, I will try to accept everything and move on. If ever that I still need more time to move on, then I would ask my former partner for a “better” closure, since it would help assure me that I can do it and that it just takes time to accept.

Discussion Exactly 5 sentences only. How do you show your attraction, love and commitment to your loved ones? Enumerate each and explain.      I often try to express my love for others through words and gestures as I think that is it essential for every relationship. I often show my affection through words of affirmation since I always want to motivate them through tough times. I also often express my love by giving a lot of hugs, since I want my loved ones to feel warmth and comfort. I always try to lend a helping hand mentally and/or physically, because I want them to know that I will always be there in times of trouble. I also try to show that I respect them by always trusting them, being honest, and showing kindness all the time, since I believe that everyone deserves to be treated this way.
