A long distance relationship when your NOT married is hard enough. I can't even begin to imagine the struggles you will come by when it comes to being married and never seeing your other half. If they are in the military, that's fine but otherwise, wow. The best way to keep your marriage alive is to spend extra time trying to figure out ways to come and see your husband. That's the best advice I can give you. Good luck with your situation and Merry Christmas!

I have said that long distance relationships are difficult but sometimes they are necessary when people are trying to make a living. Cheers!!

Yes, sometimes it's difficult. We must be surviving on our happy family although the situation and condition are not too ideal.

hmmm.. that tough, kinda depends on how long your spouse has to leave for, like if its just once in a while n for a week or two, thats not bad, but if its like months at a time n quite a bit, thats gotta be hard to keep the relationship strong, personally i would either come to the conclusion the relationship wouldnt work or i'd do all i could to be as close to my spouse as possible, but with you guys having a family its a harder situation then that, personally i would do whatever it took to keep your family together..

Yeah, my spouse must go for a little bit long time (at least in every 3 months he is in somewhere else). So far our marriage is fine, but sometimes i do worry about the long distance relationship.

Hi ut! My respond maybe late but hoping this response will help you along the way. Why don't you make a conscious effort to not put your life on hold-do the things that you like to do and pursue that you've always wanted to develop.And maybe this helps of keeping yourself busy with friends and family and loves ones and continually nurture your social ties. Banish jealousy whenever it rear its ugly head because it will eat you alive. Make your romance alive during the times you are apart, get creative, go beyond traditional "snail mail", and email and send, a special mix CD that you know your partner likes :)
Every relationship, whether local or long-distance relationship, is unique, so use your best judgment with what feels right for the both of you. You deserved to be happy both and to continue to growth. A love that lasts a life time maybe worth the rish. Where there is mutual will, love will always find a way. :)

Hi utsa! Constant communication must be maintained both. And trust each other, regardless of what is your situation.
