married life with a military man

I think it is a risk of a military occupation. go to distant places for long periods of time is a matter of course in order to carry out the task. I guess when you choose to marry a cousin to the military he was able to predict what risks to be faced later. But when there is a meeting, I believe it is a very good quality.

I understand your situation.

It is really hard to have a family with a man serving the militar. Your trust and faith with him will be tested. Most of all, there are chances that your children are not fond with their father.

That's why people should think twice before marrying one and determined if they are really decided, once you do, then get ready to give your all out support to somebody who is ready and willing to die defending the country and freedom.“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”? G.K. Chesterton

That is why they are called "LIVING HEROES"..being away of their family to protect the government with no assurance of their lives is one of their big sacrifice why they commended as unique individual of the society.. For me , its really hard on the part of the family, their wives maybe experiencing sleepless nights when their husbands were out for war.. Actually the wives of those military deserves to be called living heroes also, because seriously they are also suffering the way their husband do.

Army life always has thes ekinds of compromises you have to make. I'm sure it's hard for the kids. But at least they could be really proud of their dad serving the country. And, sometimes, seeing each other again is more treasureable, if you haven't seen each other for a long time.

It must be difficult to be in a relationship with a person in the military . When everyone is going out on Fridays you have to be home and hoping they are ok .

That is really a difficult situation to deal with. It is like having the husband work abroad. It takes months before the family would be together and they could only spend a coupe of weeks to a month in a year. My cousin is also married to a military man. He has asked her to live with his parents but she refused. She'd rather stay in her hometown where she has work. They only have a 14 year old son. They get to be together during the holiday season and certain important events.

my father was an army man and I remember how serious and strict he was. my mom also suffer to live with kids while he was far because of his job. but later everything become alright and he was working in main police central office of our city and for that he was with us daily at night and later, he become retired.
