Making a move.

My sister's husband worked on an oil rig and he spent 7 days on the rig and 7 days at home. She is an RN and was able to work a week and get a week off and so they were off work together. I think that the only reson it worked is because they have a very strong marrage and they talked every day. Also when they were together they planned things to do together without exception. Knowing this about them I would highly suggest that you choose a night to have a date with your husband every week without the kids when he is home. I would also suggest that you plan an activity for him and the kids so that they do not feel abandoned. Also 4 hours is not that far and so I would also suggest that since he is going to be working all week that you and the girls go to city atleast once a month so that your husband does not feel like he isn't needed for anything but a paycheck. I know that this has probably never crossed his mind but working all week and then having to make that drive will be exhausting and tired people can have irrational feelings. If you both are commited to each other then it will work but it will take more work than in anyother time in your marriage because it will be such a huge change and can end in moving (which while it would be hard I think that your next year the way you have planned it will be harder).

May be making a move could be made your marriage more strong and stable,because at a unknow place,you might give more care to each other,no one could help you unless your spouse at first time ,you will be fount out that you depend on together more and more.i and my hubby is on this condition to live,so we have strong marriage and we will pay more attention on another, i hope there will be a right decision in your life.
