In an ideal world, a marriage is greater than the sum of its parts. It’s never about one or the other anymore, but of the two as a unit and a team. It’s about reaching a state of grace… it’s about unconditional love… it’s about forgiveness and patience. It’s the recognition that this is a union that a Higher Power has forged, that no one should disprespect and try to break.Realistically however, it’s about two imperfect beings attempting to reach a state of divine perfection together. And in this real world, not everyone is successful. However, I believe that it’s enough to try, and try very hard.
We’re all human… we’ll all have our failings and foibles… we’ll all have that moment of "I f****d up big time". But God in His perfect grace will always be ready to forgive us… hopefully, we and our partners will be willing to do the same.
If and when the fight is worth fighting, it’s worth swinging and swinging hard, the figurative broken jaw and split lip notwithstanding. However, sometimes, one must also know when to hang up the gloves and walk away.
