Your Question:
Is it even worth fighting anymore?
Answer:
You know, I've been married to Susan for 19 years now, and I've learned that marriage is a journey, not a destination. We've had our fair share of ups and downs, but we've made a conscious effort to communicate and work through our issues. I think that's the key - communication and a willingness to listen to each other. We've learned to appreciate the little things and not take each other for granted. I've been reading a lot about marriage and relationships lately, and I came across this passage from James 4:1-2 that really resonated with me. It says, "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have... You quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God." It's so true - when we're not satisfied with what we have, we start to look for it elsewhere, and that's when the fighting starts. For me, the answer to your question is that it's definitely worth fighting for. Marriage is a sacred institution, and it takes work to make it thrive. But when we put God at the center of our relationship, it makes all the difference. We learn to communicate, to listen, and to love each other unconditionally. And when we do, the fighting subsides, and we're left with a deeper, more meaningful relationship. That's what I've experienced with Susan, and that's what I want for my children, Joshua and Rebecca, as they grow up and start their own families one day.
