Bad Love - Is fighting for your marriage worth it?

In a word, Yes. Relationships are not easy and sometimes all that it takes to work out a problem is hanging in there.

Time truly does heal if both people are working at it.

I see too many times where people give up because they don't know what to do instead of reaching out for help.

Any situation can be resolved if both people involved are willing to make changes and work on it.

Giving up on a commitment makes you feel that you could've, should've may have been able to do more so before you give up do all that you know to do to get help and work it out.

That is the key: you can't do it alone, but you can do all that you can to make it better.

If someone is hurting you or infidelity or drugs are involved, it can be dangerous if the person doing these things is not willing to get help and make changes. If you or someone else you care about is being hurt physically or emotionally and there is not a willingness to make any effort for change, it is not safe to stay. In a situation like this, there are still enough good times to cause you to stay. If there is inconsistency and the person is not taking clear steps to make a change, consider that in your decision. Is there any real change going on or just enough to keep me here until the next time?

It is also important to listen to those who know you best, other people in your life who care about you. Don't disregard what they tell you; seriously consider it before making a decision. Friends and family who care about us can help if we let them.

If a person is willing to change and love you the way you deserve to be loved and you are able to see things turn around, it's wonderful. It makes you feel good when hanging in there becomes a beautiful relationship. You can say, "We did it, we got through it together".
