Oh well I guess we just view it differently then...
I think it's a greater sign of strength if two people can stay together WITHOUT 'making a commitment' - perhaps that's just me then. I find 'commitment' overrated and kind of unworthy when it comes to actually caring about people...
I think if you can show love without making a promise that might not hold-up anyway (regardless of how much you love each other) then it's more true to yourself, you're being less idealistic and more realistic, more genuine - and if the love is strong isn't the love itself ENOUGH?
Perhaps I just see it from a different (and perhaps UNUSUAL) angle. I guess I have a different way of showing love maybe....
But I think if people can stay together WITHOUT a: "I promise I promise I promise" without a: 'commitment' then that's more genuine because I think you're kind of kidding yourself if you expect to KNOW that you will DEFINITELY stay together for your whole lives BECAUSE....
...There are people who love each other genuinely an awful awful lot for many years but they STILL end up breaking up...and I think it's perhaps a kind of conciet to think that you'd be any different (you as in whoever).
I think that if you can stay together WITHOUT 'making a commitment' then that's actually stronger. But perhaps that's just the way that I view it.
I do think commitment is a form of attachment though. And I think love is more about compassion than attachment.
