William Shakespeare's "sonnet 29" When in disgrace with fourtune and men's eyes" expresses the strongest commitment to a lover relationship. Shakespeare doesn't write your ordinary relationship poems as seen in this sonnet in particular. In "sonnet 29" Shakespears has the man in the relationship talking about his own short commings and then rejoycing when he realizes how lucky he is for the love he has for his woman.
I think this sonnet expresses the strongest commitment to a lover relationship because in a relationship it is easy to bring up your partners faults, but it takes true love to recognize your own faults. In line "4-7" the man talks about how he wishes he was as rich, smart, talented, and as good looking as other men, but never once brings up any of his partners flaws. In fact the only time he speaks about his partner is when he states how happy she makes him.
This is Shakespeare's ultimate lover relationship sonnet. The biggest part of the sonnet is the couplet or modern day puchline. From my experience the best way to win a woman's heart is with a strategically placed sincere compliment. Shakespeare does that by saying that he would not trade places with a King if it meant losing his love.
