It is SO hard to fight for the marriage when WAS keeps asking why we won't let them go & all I could reply was because I love you & it is the right thing to do
I somewhat disagree with this statement, depending on what it means to keep fighting for the marriage. There is no fight. Your spouse wants space, they want out, they want freedom, and if you truly love them then you do for them what they ask of you. It is 100% true that if you love someone you let them go. You don't grasp on tighter...they'll just go. If what you mean by fighting is that you will work on yourself and let your spouse find their way back to you (if they so choose), then I agree with that form of "fighting" for your marriage
