Thank you, Alex, for giving me a platform to talk about the most important aspect in human existence.

Let's turn your question into the answer itself: "It is so cool that people can (or should) make choices and change. They can even develop long-term commitment in spite of basic character traits."

Choice is what it boils down to. We are here, on this planet, to do something that is hard to achieve anywhere else: make choices, overcome obstacles, and change the obvious. This is the meaning of growth and development, and this is what we see in some of these married couples that have average or below commitment.

Others may stick together due to social norms, financial considerations, and fear of change and the unknown.

Think about how powerful is the knowledge that nothing is curved in stone, that everything is given to negotiation, that our faith is in our own hands. However, if you are being attracted to three new guys and want to study the probability of having a successful long-term love relationship with them - it will make sense to observe with whom commitment comes naturally and with whom it takes swimming upstream. Right?
