Worth Fighting For

Here’s the understatement of all understatements- marriage is not for sissies. When challenges come at you like Tyson Fury in his prime, it’s important to remember that both husband and wife can emerge as winners when they decide that love is a cause worth fighting for.

That’s easier said than done. Marriage is a complex and mysterious union that may see battlefields of pain and bedrooms of bliss all in a lazy afternoon. As husbands and wives navigate challenges together, they posture themselves like soldiers in a foxhole fighting for a noble cause. The shared struggle builds resilience and character. Through open communication and confiding trust, the marriage is proven to be worth fighting for.

With this mindset, every obstacle is a chance to grow, adapt, communicate, and compromise. These optimize relational intimacy that may spark into physical intimacy. Both defy what’s wrong in the world and help define that you have a love worth fighting for. When relational trust is proven through opposition, husband, and wife strengthen as allies. Even personal conflict in marriage can be an opportunity to go to the next level if you use humility, empathy, and a heavy dose of willingness to listen. Further, as Crabb said, “A man’s strength lies not in physical prowess alone, but in his ability to show compassion, empathy, and emotional maturity.”

“Marriage is a partnership where both spouses support

and encourage each other to reach their full potential.” Gary Rosberg
