Fan reaction to “Love Is Not A Fight”

“Warren, I was at your concert here nearly a year ago. I was here alone because my wife and I were separated. You sang a song that said love is not a fight, but it’s something worth fighting for. That song changed me. My wife and I started fighting for our relationship. Tonight, we came to your concert together. We are renewing our vows in a few weeks. Just wanted to say thank you.”

“Praise God for such a beautiful song! This song really touched my heart because my husband and I have been having a lot of ‘spilled pretzel’ fights lately. We’ve been married for almost eight years (at times it seems longer, lol), but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Each fight really brings us closer together and opens our eyes to the fact that we can’t do it on our own; we need God every step of the way.”
Jennifer

“After more than 20 years of marriage, my husband and I found ourselves in a situation where the only solution seemed to be divorce. I filed, then seven days later, while at my desk at work, I heard the voice of God telling me ‘it’s not over, go home.’ I did, even though it was not what I wanted. I am so glad I listened. Our 24th anniversary is tomorrow, and we are happier than ever. Your song expressed it perfectly. God bless you!”

Further reaction to “Love Is Not A Fight”

“Warren Barfield’s new song, ‘Love Is Not A Fight,’ is a bold declaration for all marriages. We are honored to feature it in the movie Fireproof. You will be inspired and challenged by this powerful song. It could not come at a better time.”
Stephen and Alex Kendrick, Writers and Producers of the movie, Fireproof

”’Love Is Not A Fight’ is such a powerful song. Every time I hear it and really listen to the lyrics, it nearly brings me to tears. With so many failed marriages today, getting married is a scary proposition. But as I prepare for my upcoming wedding, this song encourages me – in fact, we’re going to play it at our reception. I want everyone to hear the hard-hitting, yet hopeful words. I’d recommend every couple (especially those preparing for marriage) take this song to heart. Warren doesn’t candy-coat love. He essentially says love isn’t just a feeling, but it’s a choice worth fighting for. The marriages I’ve seen survive and thrive have applied the words Warren sings.”

”’Love Is Not A Fight’ is going to save some marriages, at the very least. Not too many songs actually carry power, but this one is loaded.”
Bob Thornton, Program Director of KXOJ in Tulsa, Okla.

”’Love Is Not A Fight’ is the essence of what a Christ-centered marriage is supposed to look like. Barfield manages to beautifully portray the powerful message of love and what matters most through his soulful musings. His thoughtful songwriting is definitely at its best with this song.”
Lindsay Williams, Web Editor, CCMMagazine.com

“I think this is a song that resonates in the heart of every listener. That’s what we are hearing through phones, emails and conversations. Even if personal circumstances have dictated otherwise, ‘Love Is Not A Fight’ depicts the ideal portrait of fighting for a Biblical marriage in the midst of real life. That’s something that everyone wants. It’s definitely a song from the heart that speaks direct to the heart.”
Wally Decker, WBFJ in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Warren Barfield shares the story behind the song, of “Love Is Not A Fight”

“My wife is my best friend, who I love dearly, and she loves me,” he says. “But isn’t it fascinating that two people who love each other so much can cut one another so deeply? When you let issues build up in a marriage, the smallest thing can trigger a war, and pretty soon you can lose sight of your love and commitment to one another. We had a night where something as trivial as spilled pretzels forced into the open things we had left unsaid. Once everything had calmed down, I wrote this song. In that moment, I fully realized my duty, as my wife’s husband, was to wrap my arms around her. To love her more than my pride, more than my desire to be ‘right,’ and to find a way to move through life’s good and bad times together. That will be a struggle at times, but love is worth the fight.”

About Warren Barfield

Worth Fighting For, Barfield’s third record out May 20, 2008, on Essential Records, expresses a vulnerability and passion born out of the realization of how much life passes by without intentionally living, how little we invest in those we love, and how often we settle for the status quo. The epicenter of the album is the first radio single, “Love is Not a Fight,” a powerful song about the lengths we should be willing to go to for those we love (a song that will play an integral, musical role in the upcoming film, Fireproof). Worth Fighting For was produced by Charlie Peacock (Switchfoot, Nichole Nordeman); Mark A. Miller (Casting Crowns); and Jason Ingram & Rusty Varenkamp (Bebo Norman, Rush of Fools).
