Hello everyone, I am so glad that this forum exists! I am happily married to a soldier in the Army. I want to say first of all that I am sorry to the women/men on here whose marriages did not work out. I know a lot of women/men here where we are stationed that have had the same issues and I feel sorry for them. My husband was married to a woman who did not like the military life either so they divorced. It is sad because they have two little girls that deserve so much in this life but it would have been worse for them had their parents stayed married. I love my husband with all of my heart and hope the best for everyone on here!

Deployments are EXTREMELY hard to deal with but if the wife or husband really cares about the marriage, they will get through it just fine. We did and I gave birth to our daughter just 11 days after he left in 2004 to go to Iraq. It was a very tough year for me but we made it through so everyone has their obstacles in front of them but it can be overcome!
