More From Caroline Kennedy

Usually you just use these words: "i give you my, i make this commitment to you, i honor this idea between us." for me, commitment boils down to honor. because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. you make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. typically, something that is positive. a positive notion of honor.

I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. the kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.

...fact was she knew more about them than she knew about herself, having never had the map to discover what she was like. could she sing? (was it nice to hear when she did?) was she pretty? was she a good friend? could she have been a loving mother? a faithful wife? have i got a sister and does she favor me? if my mother knew me would she like me?
