Commitment and Gilmore Girls

Commitment comes in stages, especially with Rory's relationships:

1. Hey, I just met you and this is crazy we've been dating 3 months and I'll see you tonight maybe. (0 - 6 months) -- Jess

2. Hey hon, bring some tampons and chocolate over with you because I'm on my period. (6 - 18 months) -- Dean

3. So, you've been dating for how long, and you guys haven't made plans to get Married? (18 - 36 months) (this also includes anyone who has no intention of marriage) -- Logan

Commitment is defined as "the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc." When in a committed relationship you are dedicated to your s/o for one purpose, to see if you guys could get married. Dating should be intentional, with the intention being to get married. If marriage isn't something that isn't on the table then why are you digging a huge hole that will be crazy hard to get out of? Emotions aren't easy to deal with, but if you are committed to someone then be there, be dedicated. 

Logan from Gilmore Girls is a great example of this. When he chooses to be Rory's boyfriend, he is dedicated. He spends the next 2 ish years pursing her until he is ready to marry her, and then when he gets rejected he LEAVES. That is the healthiest thing that he could have done.

Commitment is needed for a "safe" relationship. In order for someone to be all in they have to feel secure within the relationship.
