When the level of commitment that two mates have for one another doesn't match up, it spells trouble for the relationship. Sharing your life and love with someone else has far greater rewards than drawbacks, yet there are still men and women who have trouble committing to one person. If you're the one with commitment issues, then finding a way to overcome them is crucial to the survival of your relationship. First, take a look at some of the underlying motivations for not wanting to commit, whether that involves living together, getting married or simply just spending the night. Some people have the "perfect" mate in mind and have trouble getting involved with someone who doesn't fit that unattainable mold they've carved out for this person - who doesn't exist. The truth is, these commitment-phobes expect more of themselves, not their mates. It's a matter of boosting self-esteem to be able to commit to another person in this case.
