AB - This study explores commitment within marital relationships from a covenantal viewpoint and its implications for Christian counseling. To this end, it explains that the covenant is an eternal promise of mutual commitment between God and humans, emphasizing elements like will and determination, practice, forgiveness, and union with God. The covenant are similar to marriage, so the relationship between God and humans can be understood through marriage. The study views commitment as deciding to love one's spouse and putting it into practice. In Christian counseling, the individual first restores the covenantal relationship with God, develops individuality and unity to form a union with God and the spouse, learn and practice the skills of love, and acquire the ability to forgive in relationship. Lastly, the study suggests that research is needed on various methods and procedures that can apply commitment to marital relationships in counseling, especially on practical measures that can lead those who have fallen out of the covenant relationship back into it. The study also discusses limitations when applying covenantal commitment to various family relationships beyond marriage.
