Commitment

OK, I admit it - I love chick flicks. I love ballroom dance. I love chick flicks about ballroom dance.

Dance With Me ~
Strictly Ballroom ~
All of 'em.....

So I finally rented Shall We Dance, despite the fact that it has Susan Saradon, Richard Gere & Jennifer Lopez. Haven't made it through the whole movie, yet, but did get to this very chick flicky quote.

We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'.

Chick flicky, yes, but true I think. And not just in a marriage, in relationships in general.

UPDATE: I love a sappy, happy ending.
