How do you think of faraway couples?

Before I got married, I was far away from my present husband. And after marriage, we live and work together, but my husband is always out for business. So we usually meet twice a month even once a month sometimes. I'm not sure if it is exists in most families; and how do you deal with your relationship? I need your help. Thanks.

I'm sorry to say but relationship like this is very hard. Between the two of you one must sacrifice to stay in one place to make the marriage work out. What's the use of the marriage if you only see him twice a month? What kind of marriage is that? Where ever he go follow him, you have to be there for him when he gets tired from work. He needs someone to take good care of him. And you are the wife it's your responsibility.

I partly agree with you. If I follow him wherever he goes on business, he surely will get my good care; however, I will lose my job frequently as the place changes. I think independence for a wife is crucial.

Well I must say I have never been in a situation like you all are. I have never been away from my partner unless I am on vacation. I can not imagine having to live away from him, I would not like it at all.I miss him so much when i am away. But I do know of people that have to do this, and do admire them,and you for loving one another so much.I know that you all appriciate one another so much more when ever you do get to spend time together.There are times when peoples jobs will not allow them to be together all the time.It is unfortunate, but you have to do whatever you must, to survive.
