Thats if there is any at all.
I haven't debated this with anyone.
How effective can a promise make, are there consequences for breaking a promise made to a spouse or girlfriend knowingly or unknowingly?
It baffles atimes when i see how highly dependent gals are with promises, they want you to just PROMISE them at all cost that you won't break their hearts and the sort after which they feel protected, my girl made me promise her that i wont break her heart, now
it makes me ponder if promise is same as 'Love Covenant' (LC),

Well in life never make promises u cant keep period!!!!promises are just meant 2 be kept

What if she breaks yours?
Make the promises you think you can keep.  If you ever have to break a promise, make sure you tell the person involved why.
You want to be happy or at least have peace of mind in a relationship.  You cannot make someone else happy when you are not.

promises is like the law

i try to keep the ones i make
but i'm not God so i do break a few, heheheh

Hello,
Personally, I think one should be careful about making a promise cos it not a must for you to make one. Just be your self period,

Some circumstances can happen beyond your control, in that case.  You can be forgiven if you break a promise (or at least you should).  However, if you are known to make promises and don't keep them then your word won't mean nothing to no one.  Your word should be bond.  Therefore, IF you KNOW that you are going to make a promise you can't possibly keep or unsure of, it's best not to make it. Because you are basically making the commitment saying: I will do/say yada yada.  Be a person of great integrity.  I'm a woman of her word and it will take me a whole lot to make me go back on my word.  So my family and friends know, if I say so, it will be. 

@Coded777 I'm sorry to say, but making a promise that some guy/gal won't break your heart sounds a bit crazy.  Nothing is guaranteed and anything can happen. God forbid. So making a commitment like that was a little "off".

Every Promise one made in life is binding in that a promise unfulfilled is a sin against God and humanity. So many have blocked their ways in life because of certain unfulfilled promises to fellow human beings. The worst aspect of them all is any promise made to God and the second, is the one made to a clear conscience person whose hands are clean in all ramifications.

promises are modernized oaths. Wey make dem some times unconciously and definately have side effects.
In relationships, promises are mostly smashed espectially when d conji is high and could only b  prevented by controlling our emotions

[size=15pt]What promise are you referring to?

"I will . . . . . . . ."

or

"I promise i will . . . . . . . . ."[/size]

since i joined nigeria politics i learnt not to keep all promises

OP.
A promise is a debt . . . . . . .
The unfulfiled ones are very consequential . , , Beware!!!

@poster
promises are like employment, depending on what you do and how the "company" goes, will determine if youkeep that job or not. expecting to stay in that job regardless of what happens there is 

any gal who ask you not to break her heart is a fool and you should let her know that exactly. unless you are a demon who can foresee the future, how the hell can you promise something as silly as that?
what you should tell this gal is:" as much as i am never gonna break your heart intentionally, i do not know what the future brings and, event in our relationship will dictate what i do towards you. expecting me to do whatever YOU want to please you is, not only brainless, but childish"

@MrBownJAy my guess is we've never had any issues on this forum before now that warranted you calling an anonymous being a 'fool'. inasmuch as i like your post it makes much sense. Thanks for contributing^^  I bid you to reverse that statement, pls. there're better ways to express your opinion without openly calling people names especially unknown

^^^bro, if what i wrote above offended you then accept my apologies, as it was not my intention.
as for my comment, saying that people act in foolish ways should not be viewed as an insult, but i could have used NOT WISE/SENSELESS or DEFICIENT IN JUDGMENT and it would mean exactly the same thing.
