Love Fights




Love is patient. Love is kind……  many of us know the passage so oft used at a wedding.
Yet love is that word that means so many things to so many people. It’s that feeling of butterflys in your gut brought on simply by seeing your special partner.  Love is shown in tender moments and time spent together hand in hand.  Love is that passion you can’t ignore when that special person is by your side.

Love is lots of things. Love is what continues after the honeymoon period described above is over. Love is the series of unending compromises, surprises, acts of service, words of encouragement and a hug when needed most. Love is standing by through the illnesses, crisis and tragedies that befall everyone.



Love is also tough and feisty. Love is the willingness to continue to pursue your partner long after the initial infatuation wears off. Love remains and love fights to continue.  Love is the jab that says “I need to be first.” Translated into other terms – “I can’t let you drift away, you mean too much to me to let that happen.”  Love is the right hook that sets boundaries which are established to make each other feel safe.

A vase of flowers, so meaningful and special on their arrival, wither and drop their leaves. Love, I’m finding, can fall like petals too, unless you’re willing to fight for it. Love is worth the fight. Take the jab, through the hook, not in the aim of hurting, rather in the goal to keep the love.

Love is worth the good fight.
