It is a figure of speech; "Fighting for" something does not necessarily include fighting.
No but it is the same mindset.
It is one of approaching a life situation as "fighting", even if it is not physical fighting. The opening post used those very words, fighting for something versus giving up.
How people respond to something like disease also reveals their word views in the same way. Does the person see the disease as an alien invader, an enemy, something to "fight" and overcome and engage in battle and destroy? A person's response to any number of life situations can reveal the person's views and beliefs as life as a battle and the need for "fighting;" or instead choosing to respond to life situations in a different way, one of greater peace and harmony.
Ok may I should rephrase this do ppl give up too quickly in todays marriages/relationships? With the divorce rate steady climbing is it because ppl not trying hard enough to make it work?

YES
i agree that people often look for and take the "easy way out" as in changing partners or blaming someone else for their problems, rather than looking at their own behavior, and doing the hard work of self-development and internal growth, and taking responsibility for the quality of their interactions with others, relationships.
Also either you are happy in the relationship or you aren't. If you aren't then you better get out and find someone who makes you happy.
Most people don't make the relationship work which is why marriage in this country is imploding. I think people will be happier being single. Humans weren't designed to be monogamous.
Just 'cause humans weren't designed to be monogamous doesn't mean people would be happier being single. You're missing the middleground there.

some people ARE monogamous by nature
for some people there is never a desire or a struggle to be anything except monogamous because that IS their nature. It is a complete non-issue for a whole lot of people.
It's a matter of personal belief. I believe that if you are not married, you should not be fighting to keep someone. If they don't love you, don't want to be with you, show them where the door is so they can pursue happiness. If you are married, you fight for them. If you are married with children, you fight harder.
