About This Quote
Happiness in marriage is a choice you have to make: fight for, protect, pursue. It doesn't happen to you, you make it happen. When marriage becomes work, it becomes more than the sum of its parts. A team of two people wrestling for each other’s happiness can become somewhat of a chore.
When that happens, it often leads to resentment on both sides. This quote reminds us that the only way to find true happiness in marriage is to be willing to fight for it. When we are willing to fight for our spouse’s happiness, we give them the best chance of returning the favor and staying happy with us while we work towards our own goals.
