Note
Pluralizing reaches only the countable side of commitment: pledges, obligations, financial undertakings, even committals to prison or to committee. Commitment as a trait of sincerity and focused purpose rarely pluralizes. A person shows commitment, not commitments. So "family commitments" are things you have promised to do, while "her commitment" may simply mean her dedication. In the plural the word pairs naturally with honor and balance.
