We spend our whole lives looking for someone to love us. And ironically when we find that person, we spend as much time and energy running away from commitment.I remember for every milestone I reached in relationship, I found myself pushing the person away so I could protect my heart from being hurt … again. The person hadn’t necessarily done anything wrong. I just couldn’t admit that I was wholeheartedly, utterly, shamefully, and completely terrified of commitment.
Commitment is giving 100% of our energies – mind, body, and spirit to something. Once we have committed, whatever is in us that needs to be healed in order to take the next step to fulfill the commitment will surface.
A lot of us think of this as an obstacle …or a sign that we should never have committed.
Not true! This is why making a commitment in our intimate relationships is so vital. The commitment is like a sacred boundary that acts as a refuge, holding partners so that they feel safe to do the work to grow (up) together.

All-New FREE Webinar Training w/ Q & A
Wednesday, June 8th at 4:30 pm PT / 7:30 pm ET
Here’s a peek at what I’ll be covering:
- The distinction between the individual and the relational paradigm … how individualism can be corrosive for relationships
- How conflict is a friend, launching pad for growth – that we hire our partners to push our buttons
- How to use the “Three Invisible Connectors,” a proven method that helps couples become close again
- How the spiritual potential of your relationship is at the core of being your partner’s best friend and healer.
Great! See you June 8th,
Paula
P.S. There is so much dis-ease and cynicism in our culture today around relationships and commitment. However, you have to rise above the worldly clamoring of skepticism, negativity, doubt and choose a new relationship story … one where you are the author.
