The document discusses the concept of love, including its definition, types (agape and phileo), and characteristics of true love. It also addresses the issue of commitment in teenage relationships. While relationships used to require more commitment before, today they are often shallow and based primarily on physical attraction. This can lead to problems like one-sided love, depression, and regret. The document provides biblical perspectives on love and relationships, emphasizing that love is a decision requiring commitment, honesty, communication and putting God at the center.

summarized by St. Thomas Aquinas, who defined love
as "to will the good of another," or to desire for
another to succeed.

23. The Issue:
Teenagers love and
commitment in a
relationship

25. Long time Ago:
The commitment in terms of the youth’s relationship
(boyfriend- girlfriend) before was very deep.
The commitment before was stronger because before they
entered in a relationship, they went to a long process
and they earned it in a hard way.

26. Actual Situation
Video Presentation

27. Actual Situation:
The commitment in the relationship of the youth today
is just like the tip of an iceberg.
Today’s relationship is very easy to be ruin because the
commitment is not that strong, because the
relationship was not earned in a hard way.
Most of the youth today looks on the physical
appearance of the person and not on their attitudes/
good qualities.

60. Reflections

61. I am against having love and commitment in the
context of relationship of the youth today because
it’s getting very shallow in a sense that a
relationship could only last for a day.
- Shey Asuncion
Teenagers who are engaging in commitments
must realize that this is one big responsibility
and that they may lose a lot of things in the
process if they make wrong decisions.
Therefore, they must always keep a rational
mind in making decisions in order not to have
regrets in the future.
- Christelle Conti

62. Teenagers were getting into a relationship even they
were not get ready so the tendency they entered in a
situation that they can’t handle.
- Katherine Datu
Being in a relationship requires full time
commitment. It means fulfilling the promises
you have made to your partner. It also
requires you to be loyal to your partner.
- Sarah Nicole Santos

63. Love can’t live without a commitment. It’s like
cooking rice, rice grains cannot be cook without
water, just like in love, love cannot last long without
a commitment. We should know the amount of
commitment we should put into a relationship.
- Rose Anne Tan
Love is an unconditional commitment. You
didn’t love her just because of what she has
but for who she is as a whole. Being in love
is not just a strong feeling but a decision.
Yes, it’s easy to fall and it makes you feel
good inside. But it also requires effort to
make your relationship work. Also pray for
your partner and put God ALWAYS at the
center.
