Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 15 page paper discussing the concept “committed relationship”. Definitions of a “committed relationship” differ according to historical, religious, social or modern-day references. Basically, according to the New Webster’s Dictionary “committed” is defined as “to give in keeping, entrust” or “to bind, pledge” and “relationship” or “the state of being related” is “the mutual exchange between two people or groups who have dealings with one another” (New Webster, 197, 841). In other words, a “committed relationship” between two individuals is more of a binding and trusting mutual exchange. The pure definition however may be in fact be different than how many individuals may define whether or not they are in a “committed relationship” with another individual as some may deem this to include love, sex, equality, and/or marriage along with several other aspects particularly significant to individuals. A successful committed relationship however does not seem dependent on sexual orientation, religion or legal commitments but rather it is a long-term process between couples which involves love, respect, constant readjustment of individual and partner’s needs, acceptance, and realization of the reality of a shared modern day life – a vast difference from the initial perceptions of romance and sexual intensity originally sought in a relationship.

relationship? Judgments and ethical judgments in regards to actions, according to philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) are not only based on emotions but "are also expressions of how the speaker wishes
the world would be and how others would act" (Leiser 465). Russell believed that "human actions derive from three sources: instinct, mind, and spirit" where "instinct is presumably whatever more
or less automatically occurs as a result of our animal natures" such as hunger, thirst, the need for sex when mature and protection from danger for example. "Mind" on the
other hand, "as a source of conduct leads to a pursuit of knowledge" and "spirit to religious consciousness" (Leiser 465). Actions to proceed with relationships may also be based
