When his POV was illustrated, every other girl was depicted as a vegetable besides the one he wanted...walking down the hall was this dolled-up character surrounded by a carrot, potato, and broccoli bushel.⁣ ⁣ As funny as it was, it perfectly demonstrated an idealized and unrealistic version of love. ⁣ ⁣ Why is it so essential to acknowledge that we can be completely in love with someone and still experience momentary attraction to another or excitement? Because many people believe that if they experience attraction to anyone other than their partner, something must be wrong. And even start asking themselves...⁣ ⁣ Have I fallen out of love?⁣ Have I lost attraction for my partner?⁣ Am I unhappy with them?⁣ ⁣ Someone sparking your short-term fancy doesn’t indicate any of these relationship woes. It just means you’re human.⁣ ⁣ Commitment doesn’t falter or fluctuate. It doesn’t change its mind based on a bad mood or due to urges. It is a pact to protect and respect your connection with someone and to safeguard their heart.⁣ ⁣ While you can’t commit to being perfect, you can promise another that for the time you are together, the love, energy, and affection you have to offer will go only to them.⁣ ⁣ You promise to be most interested in their day and most desiring for their touch—and to prioritize their needs above others. Everyone knows what commitment is, yet it remains one of the biggest challenges for modern relationships.⁣ ⁣ My book, Closer to Love, exposes how commitment to a person is either broken or built through every little decision we make. From liking a stranger’s photos to skipping date nights to hang with friends, the commitment to our relationships is the foundation they’re built on.⁣ ⁣ #VexKing #CloserToLove
