My wife and I have been seperated for 2 months, but have now decided that we will try to make things work. I leave for the Marines in Aug. She is supportive.

it doesn't have to be if you love each other.

It's sounds like it's a little late to be asking the question. You've already committed to them right? I don't know about your marriage but your life is over. Military life blows. That is unless you enjoy someone else having complete say over where you'll live, whether you'll fight in a war regardless of whether you agree with it or not. And whether to extend your employment. No other job in the world has so much control over your life. I can only hope that you signed up for as short as possible. Good luck

If you truly love each other it will work out alright in the end. If she is supporting you 100% you will have nothing to worry about when you leave and she will be there with open arms when you get back. If your going into bootcamp then that will really test your relationship since you won't have contact with her while you are gone, well on an actual regular basis. If she is truly in love with you then she will be proud of you and what you are doing and will definatly be there when you return. If she doesn't then she won't. Best of luck to you!

Only you and your wife know what your problems are. Do you have children? This will surely be a time to find out if the marriage is worth saving. May

ive been in the military myself and i can honestly say most likely man...not for sure there is a chance..but most likely. if you dont have kids yet my best advice is a preemptive strike and end it now...i know thats cold but it will be much worse to hear about some bs back home if ur overseas somewhere ..if you already have kids then there is no reason to worry about it just do all you can to make it work..thats all you can do.

if u two truely love each other u can make it work. My hubby is a reservist now but was active duty for 15 years and we've dealt with him being gone more than he was here at times. I'ts hard but we just work together keep in touch put God first each other second and our needs last. Works for us smile.

Why would anyone join any military controlled by the idiot currently sitting in The White House and why would she support it? Perhaps the increased combat death benefits.

Perhaps it will just give you both the breathing space the separation intended. Be positive, write often and bear your hearts to each other to make it work when you return.

Not really, if you call her by phone from time to time or email/mail her a lot, you both will still feel close to each other.

It depends, some people thrive in the military, others don't.
