Abstract

Relationship commitment, the intention to remain in one's relationship, is a significant predictor of relationship stability in intimate partnerships. In this article, the author reviews existing models of commitment and offers a new conceptual model of commitment that integrates the previous work of commitment researchers. The integrated model of commitment proposed in this article is intended for practical use in couple counseling with partners in diverse types of intimate relationships. The author ends with suggestions for clinicians in applying the integrated model to assess clients’ relationship commitment.
