To mean I agree with the true meaning which is Responsibility,loyalty, something planned that is not avoided.

There is more to this than that as most I find do not understand the concep of:
something that takes up time or energy, especially an obligation

This building of a relationship does do just that and I find it can be exhausting for only one side of the relationship dealing with all the responsibilities or one just being loyal.

Loyalty:devotion or dedication, e.g. to a cause, person, or relationship

In a relationship allthis must be considered and even in my own personal life with the Lord I can see where I can be out of guidance at time in keeping this true.

So what would be the best thing in a relationship to keep this going?flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou

The ability to compromise, good listening skills, and a sense of humor.

Communication between all involved in the relationship. I think the first communication should be just how big is the relationship because one would like to know how many people one is committed to. I say that because there might be priorities in the ranking. You can see this easily in a family type relationship especially in extended families. For instance; A person might be married only to one spouse and not the spouse's family. In that case if the relationship is just between two people communication might be easier to do. Since theoretically each would have equal input.:smile:

Great point. So many people now a days want commitment, until things don't go their way. Then its the front door they head to when there is a bump in the road.

I agree with all of the above but I also think we should add acceptance to the list. If it was there, I missed it. flowerforyou

I'd say, look for "signs" of stability early in the relationship. Has he/she counted the cost? Some people rush into relationships wanting the benefits of another's commitment, (maybe) not realizing that they themselves have a lot of unsolved issues. They couldn't possibly promise you anything because they are already obligated...Commitment often requires reciprocation.
