Commitment day is a holiday celebrated every year since 1960 on the first day of January, by committing to a loved one in one way or another. Commitment is the biggest show of affection between two parties and an act of trust, making one another aware of the obligations they have to fulfill- to love and respect without end.
You can celebrate Commitment Day by committing to something you always wanted to do, to a loved one or to yourself.
Fun Fact: the first recorded act of commitment between two persons was 4,350 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia when two people were joined together in a marriage ceremony.
Love entered the equation way later, when women started being present in the workfield and needn’t anymore to be married in order to accomplish success in life. They could choose a spouse based on love and willingness to commit to a lifetime relationship.
Since then, love is the cause of most marital commitments.
”Without commitment, you cannot have depth in anything, whether it's a relationship, a business, or a hobby.” ~ author Neil Strauss
