How do you keep the trust and love when you are away from one another for alot of your relationship?

Question

My husband is in the Army. We are away from each other right now and have been away from each other a lot. And we will be away from each other alot for another ten years. We have three kids and have been married for almost 5 years. Going strong and still so in love. We talk everyday and still have humor and are doing great. I just want to make sure I am doing everything I need to, to keep it that way. How do we keep the trust and romance alive and kiccking while we are away and ahow do we make sure we still have it when he is at home?

Answer 1

Trust me when I say that what you are doing now is enough. Why are going to be away from each other that long?

Unless your husband is stationed in Korea or Iraq, the Army will pay for you to relocate to be with him. It is one of the perks the Army offers to a soldier's dependents. The Army does not want the soldier to have any more stress than necessary, in order for him to perform his duties effectively and efficiently.

If the love and respect is still present, then continue to love him. if he is overseas, he knows that he cannot be with you physically, so just knowing that you are there in his corner, means the most to him.

As an Army vet, I can tell you that the letters from home, the phone calls, and e-mails are wonderful pick-me-ups. However, I thikn that any marriage deserves to have both people present physically, as well.

Look into relocating to his duty station. Even if his unit is shipped overseas, at least you will be surrounded by other military wives going through the same thing, and you can be strong together as a group.

When he is home, then there should be no problems. As long as you have been apart, the time spent together will take care of itself.

Please, please, please do not be that military wife that goes out and dates other people while your husband is in the field. I have seen and experienced the aftermath of such an action.

That is how you keep the trust and faith in each other. By being faithful to your marriage during the rough times, it will make your relationship stronger in the upcoming years.

Talk to the personnel department for his unit. Ask them what options you have for being close to him.

Good luck, please pass along my sincerest thanks to you and your husband for doing the job today. I did it during the first Gulf War, but his job is a lot more difficult today.

Answer 2

I use to send my husband "naughty" letters to keep up his spirits and to remind him of all he had waiting for him at home. If you don't plan on cheating on him or he you I don't see a trust issue unless you both don't trust each other in the first place. Although cheating is easy anywhere, him in Iraq I don't see his mind being on women right now. Once he returns home you will have all the romance. Plan a special dinner or a date a few days after he is home for the two of you. He is going to want all the pampering you and the family can give him! Good Luck and God speed.
