Fight for a healthy and thriving relationship from "summary" of Love and War by John Eldredge,Stasi Eldredge
The journey toward a healthy and thriving relationship is not a leisurely stroll through the park; it is a battle that requires courage, determination, and sacrifice. It is a fight against the forces that seek to tear us apart, to sow division and discord in our hearts. It is a fight that demands our full attention, our unwavering commitment, our willingness to lay down our lives for the sake of love. In the midst of this battle, we must be willing to confront our fears, to face our insecurities, to acknowledge our weaknesses. We must be willing to engage in the difficult and uncomfortable conversations that will inevitably arise, to address the issues that threaten to undermine the foundation of our relationship. We must be willing to put aside our pride, our ego, our desire to be right, in order to truly listen and understand our partner's perspective. We must be willing to forgive, to extend grace, to offer second chances when we have been wronged. We must be willing to set aside our own needs and desires at times, in order to prioritize the needs and desires of our partner. We must be willing to work together as a team, to support and encourage one another, to face the challenges that come our way with a united front. In the midst of the battle, we must remember that love is not just a feeling, but a choice that we make every day. It is a decision to put the needs of our partner above our own, to seek their good above our own comfort. It is a commitment to stand by their side through thick and thin, through the good times and the bad.- The fight for a healthy and thriving relationship is a fight worth waging. It is a fight that will bring us closer together, that will deepen our bond, that will strengthen our connection. It is a fight that will not be easy, but it is a fight that will be worth it in the end. For in the end, we will emerge stronger, more resilient, more deeply in love than we ever thought possible.
