Food for Thought

In a relationship, is it better to choose your battles, or to choose not to battle at all?

I say, instead of choosing what to battle about, take some time to pray and lay your weapons aside.  It isn't a battle- it's a chance to come to a compromise and better your relationship for the future.  And if it's something small, it's a chance to humble yourself before your significant other and love them in a more Godly way.

So, either drop the issue, or at least drop your weapons altogether.  If what you're seeking to gain from the "battle" is a "victory" over the one you love... then are you really loving them right?

Here's what some wiser than I say...

“The best relationships--friendship and otherwise--tend to be those where you *can* say anything to the other person but you don't say *everything*.” -Audrey Beth Stein

“The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but hold hands.” -Anon 

"Remember, we all stumble, every one of us.  That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand." -Emily Kimbrough

"In the end, who among us does not choose to be a little less right to be a little less lonely." -Robert Brault
