Why if she love and respects you whats the problem i would stick by my man whatever he wants to do. She should support you.
Maybe she is scared that you will have to go to iraq or something you have to talk about it to her and you both have to be reasonable and she will have to give you good reasons. Good luck and fair play wanting to join up

This should have been discussed before you married. It is not just the fact you want to join the marines but there is a war on at the moment. You could be called away and she will have the worry that you may be killed. If you have children she will be left to bring them up alone. As a marine you will spend long months apart from eachother.
All the responsibility will be hers while you are away. Then there is the issue of trust while you are away she will think you are out on the pull on your time off. You will have to think is she out with anyone else. I think you both need to sit down and discuss all the pro`s and con`s. If you cannot agree it may come to going seperate ways. She may want a partner who will always be there for her and companionship. You may be young now but the years take their toll and she might want some fun now. Whatever you decide Good Luck for the future

OK, casting aside that this possibly should have been discussed before, you've got to deicide what you really want. How good is your marriage? would you walk to the end of the earth for her?
There are some fab bonueses with militray life (Steady career, Development, Qualifications, Married lvining quaters,travel) but also some major drawbacks (Being away, tough job). Perhaps your wife could try supporting? If it doesn't work out, you can always split up if things don't work out - and you'll have your career.
I knew a bloke who left the army for his wife, they split up and he couldn't rejoin because he missed the rejoining age by WEEKs and he really misses it.
Of course there is always an alternative - the Royal Marines Reserve -couple of nights a week / weekends and a couple of weeks. the beniefits of a 'regular' but you keep your normal job. Adventure Training, PAY, camps, qualifications - all of which will help you in civilian life. There is also the Territorial Army.
Hope you sort it out.

the significant motives are for smartness and at times (marines) to make stronger the very undeniable actuality that you're not any more someone. besides the undeniable fact that, having a crew decrease isn't continually what the protection rigidity favor. as an instance, at the same time as i began my education in the early ninety's we had men take position on the first day with crew cuts. after all of us went to the barber to get our hair decrease, he only gave us a short decrease back and facets. the different 2 men with the crew cuts were a touch miffed through this and it become defined that see you later as your head equipment lined the best and what become left exhibiting become short and smart then that would do.

well do you really love her? would you rather go to the royal marines and leave someone you love so much and will not come back but you know your protecting her by joining and be single or would you rather be at home and walk in the house and walk up to your wife and tell her you love her and kiss her.If you want to help people and be with her at the same time try doing something at home like a police officer, doctor or a paramedic.

Your marriage is important. She is probably desperately trying to stop you because she loves you. Check out on the web all the soldiers who have been killed or horrifically maimed in Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Do you really fancy that?
Even if you come back with your body whole you are going to have some serious phsycological problems relating to civilian life again, and from what I hear the army isn't going to give you any sympathy.
Settle down with your wife, bring up your family, enjoy your kids, get a normal job and stay sane and alive.

Join the Marines and get a life! It is a lot better than having Cinc-Nag- Home dictate terms to you. There are a lot better women available to Royal than her. (Honey Monsters anyone?) You will find more about yourself and life than you can ever imagine in the Marines, just remember, It's only pain! Ho Ho.

Marriage is a partnership - that means 50-50 - equal amounts of give and take. You are no longer a child, you have responsibilities. Sensible women will not accept the subservient role of general galley slave. The choice is yours - do you want a happy marriage or do you prefer to become single again so that you can do as you wish?

I suppose if you told her you wanted to join before you got married then she'll just have to compromise. but if this is a new thing then don't join the marines. your first commitment is to your wife. I don't really blame her as she'll hardly see you and will probably have to move loads and you could end up dead before your time. she wanted to marry you not the armed forces.
