You can't wait for promises before you love someone. The speaker, who works with couples, notices women often hold back, needing proof of future commitment. But promises can't guarantee tomorrow. Love has to happen now, in the present, accepting that nothing lasts forever.
Chapters
Even if he pledges his entire life to you, you're not guaranteed that relationship tomorrow. None of us are promised tomorrow. I'm here loving her with all of my heart. I don't know that I'll wake up tomorrow morning. I really don't. I really don't. This is temporary in this form. There's nothing we can do to change that. So these promises even we make to ourselves, and we work with married and committed couples all the time, even when you vouch, there's going to be another instance where this scenario is going to come up for you. How many of you are in relationships and you feel like you can't trust your man and you would need to trust him at some future moment? Yes. It's perpetuating itself. This isn't just because it's a new relationship and you need him to say, I'm in. This is something that occurs within you as a woman. Like a being that you must learn to ultimately transcend and love through.
