"The ‘Commitment’ series finale.
Four couples, four transitions, four seasons of marriage …
Grace
Most couples wouldn’t have weathered one mistake of the kind Shawn made when he and Riley first got married, let alone emerge with a commitment that’s stronger, a beautiful family and a love that’s even deeper. Is there any way their relationship can survive mistake number two?
Balance
Whatever Brendan wants, Brendan gets. It’s an arrangement Tracy doesn’t mind, because he provides everything she needs: love, financial security and the comfort of never having to work outside the home. But now, the most important thing she wants, he doesn’t have the time—or maybe even the will—to give. With a relationship built on giving all of herself, is it fair to now ask for a piece back?
Growth
Robyn’s career is in a growth-spurt just as Chris’ seems to be at its natural end. No longer empire-building, he’s struggling with his new reality, and the need for a sense of purpose separate from his work. His wife seems way too busy to notice. That is, until someone else does.
Renewal
Once a mistress, now just a suburban wife and working mother, Keisha doesn’t recognize herself most days. The problem is, Jayson doesn’t either. If he’s reading her right, she wants out. And unless she’s mistaken, he might not mind too much if she decided to go."

My Thoughts....
This was quite a interesting read where you get it all...the 'real flaws' where one will see how many of the characters were so very imperfect. This story definitely proved that some of these relationships needed help.
All of these characters from Tracy, Brendan, Shawn,Grace, Riley, Robyn, Chris, Keisha to Jayson, who all gave us a read of drama, emotions, even some counseling to giving the readers a good read. As the story goes we learned from Grace [dealing with Christ and Robyn], Balance [dealing with Brendan and Tracy's story], Growth [dealing with Chris and Robyn] and in the end Renewal [dealing with Jayson and Keisha] from the four different stories that give up a 'realistic light on everyday life that all can relate to.' By the end one can be taught a few things about these stories through "love, relationships, up and downs, cheating, mental illness, bad childhoods, ex's problems" as one can find a way of getting thru these intriguing stories.
