In meaningful relationships, you need to do more than just…
““In meaningful relationships, you need to do more than just "get it." You need to do more than just sit back and handle things when they arise. You need to fight. You need to be ready to do a heck of a lot more than just "try". If its important, fight for the relationship. Fight for your partner. Fight like a Pitbull, even only if its for a few minutes. Even if you only have to do it once in your lifetime. If we were together, fight for us and I'd promise you I'd ask very little else of you, in the future; forever. Because, I'd then know all that I needed to know- that we are important to you. And if the day was to ever return, that you needed to fight for us again, then I'd already know you would do it for us. So, I'd spend the rest of my life, making sure that day would never come again. I'd spend the rest of my life fighting for us, everyday if I had to, so that you would never have to worry. So that you would never ever have to fight for us again. I would, always. I'd protect our love, forever, after that. If you'll fight for us now, I'd be your loyal gladiator. I'd be your Green Beret...””
