There are two things going on here.
How long should HE fight for HER? Not long. He should take a shot at it, but not so long as to turn desperate. Nobody wins that way.
Here's the part you missed: your SO wants to hear you say you'd fight for her. When that's not actually on the table, it's a romantic, sweet thing that most women swoon over. "Darling, I'd never let you go. I'd fight for you to the end of my days." I hope you wouldn't, actually, but it's what your SO wants to hear you say.
