Fight and win or die.
Fight and win or die.
I see it as evidence on wanting and persisting to make the marriage work knowing the consequences the children face.
There once was a story about a general who had sailed to a foreign land to fight. Upon them reaching the banks of the country, he ordered his men to burn all the ships. He said to them, men, we fight and win or we die, there is no retreating.
The same applies to our marriages, one must make the choice to fight and win or die doing so.
