Forsaking all others means going deep with one person -- exhaustingly deep.

Ada Calhoun
About This Quote

To fully commit to another person is to become fully committed to one another. This means putting your life on hold so you can fully immerse yourself in the other person. It means that, if the relationship doesn’t work out, you will be doing everything in your power to make it work. It means constantly working on the relationship until it is perfect.

It means constantly having to prove how much you care for them and what they mean to you. It means being completely single-minded about them - you are willing to sacrifice your life for their happiness.
