From Boaz Ministries
When we love someone, it's not difficult to stretch beyond our normal limits, or step outside our comfort zones to be and do whatever is necessary for that person; especially in the newness of a relationship. Sometimes, as the road gets longer, and rougher, those former acts of bending over backwards and acquiescing become harder to perform. This is most puzzling because when we think of a life partnership moving forward and growing stronger, it should follow that the bond between two (who are one) will cause an even greater sense of giving of oneself for the betterment of the other.
Couples committed to protecting one another by maintaining a safe and secure environment - where trust and respect are non-negotiable (and where both agree on the definitions of same) - will not fall into the trap of feeling used and abused when situations arise that cause them to make a personal sacrifice, or be "the leader", or "the stronger one". Love doesn't keep score. Love doesn't give up. Love doesn't complain. Love will go the extra mile when only one mile is needed. Love is tenacious and enthusiastic; in a word, "fierce"!
