Fight for your marriage. Get the therapy, put in the work, and never accept defeat because your vow never had words of defeat. Your vow which unfortunately by law may not have the teeth it should have but if you marry with God as a witness to your covenant, the law of God surpasses any law of the land.
I get it, it takes two to work.
Hold on!
You can only control yourself. Do the work no matter the cooperation, no matter the replies, no matter how the future may look. Start now.
Love even if the emotion wants anger.
Love even if the emotion wants to fight.
Love even if the emotion wants to give up.
The honeymoon phase is not the love that cements and holds a marriage together. The choice to love even if the current emotion doesn't feel it, is the cement to remain strong for decades to come.
Lasting love is an action that brings alive the emotion that in return stirs up the action of love in the other.
Fleeting love is an emotion that brings alive action but only if positive emotion comes first.
We must not be selfish and instead be self-less. Two people that move towards selflessness will soon discover lasting love.
(I understand that God allows divorce in very limited cases. But it was never the design from the beginning. It is only allowed due to grave sins. Choosing to love doesn't mean leaving your discernment at the door and being in a situation to physically be beaten or killed.)
