“Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.” – Nikki Giovanni

 The above quote I believe could be a great start to this read for the mere fact that more than likely if you have to fight then it means a mistake was made somewhere along the line. In the first place, let us make this clear we are not talking about a physical fight where people physically punch and kick and tear hair out. I believe that that should be done only when you have to defend yourself and if you can walk away from it you should. Now let us get back to the matter at hand.

Why would I not want to fight to keep my guy or my girl? The mere fact that he or she is my spouse means that I am in love. I would never want that to be taken from me even if I made a mistake. Mistakes are made and this includes cheating and as hard or harsh as it may be there should be room for forgiveness because the response to this forgiveness could mean a positive turn for your relationship. Of course, this must be weighed properly and appropriate counselling should be done for all concerned.  

The truth is I would love to be forgiven so that we can have a future together. There is no way that I am going to allow someone to just come and take away my love nor would I allow my love to just walk away. I would fight. Wouldn’t you?

Furthermore, if there are issues in our relationship I would fight to get those issues taken care of especially if I see where they are going to take

away something that I know is blooming. This could be bad habits, jealousy, constant anger and an intolerant attitude. These are all issues that as individuals we may have to fight on a personal level to keep our spouse. These are the issues that may cause a spouse to want to leave.  Issues come in our relationships to test its depths, to see how much it can withstand and it’s a real conflict. It, therefore, means that for the most part, a “fight” is a must.

Equally important people do not get into relationships and then break up and just move to the next partner. Breaking up is never an easy thing and it can be quite devastating especially if you are married with a home, kids and assets. Relationships of this nature are not to be entered into lightly and

so time and energy should be placed into courtship so that relationships can build its immune system to withstand the virus of a breakup. Your relationship is precious and it is worth a whole lot to you so it is fair that if you see it slipping go catch it back, grab it or better yet fight for it.
