Me and my wife are along ways away from each other dur to the military how can i make her still feel special?

Answer 1

I was once married to someone who did shift work, so we never saw each other. We started writing in a journal to each other.

One person writes about their week, then sends the journal to their spouse. The spouse writes back. Its kinda like letter writing, but you have it all in a bound journal. Also, be creative in the journal, attach pictures, quotes, anything that would make her feel special.

Its neat to have it all in one spot for future generations to have.

Answer 2

Write to her every day. Send her romantic cards and lots of pics and if she has email you can email back and forth on a daily basis. Let her know every day you are thinking of her and that you love and miss her and cant wait to see her again and that you wish you could be with her. Send her some flowers by calling her local florist or even from online in her area. I know this is a really hard time for you and your wife right now. You also should get a video cam for your computer and if she has one you can see each other that way on a regular basis as well. Let her know everyday how much she means to you and your life and that you look forward to the time when you can see her again.

Answer 3

Just communicate!
At 30 years old, if my husband even tried to make me feel special I would be so thankful!

But anyways... My step dad is a C-130 pilot and when he goes away he and my mother communicate through email, satelight telephone and smail mail...
He always brings her back neat little trinkets from each place that he visits and she loves it! When he comes home, he works at lockeed, in DFW so they uusually spend weekends in Mexico or the islands and sometimes a little closer to home.

If your thinking of a gift for your wife, I think you can still swipe the ole credit card and send her flowers, that'll always get ya laid! :)

But if your broke and stationed abroad, then write her a poem, sing her a song, or do something stupid that you would do at home, all you really need to do is make her smile and that alone is priceless!
(You'll always have cookies and cakes then, LOL)

Answer 4

My hubby is about to take off for his second combat tour, I feel ya! A love letter is always wonderful - what you need to know is that means tell her why you were attracted to her in the first place, something you admire about her now, some of your favorite memories of you together, some dreams you have for the future... don't just tell her what you feel about her, tell her what about her makes you feel that way.

For more tangible suggestions... check out www.designsondemand.com -- for about $10, you can get dog tags made with full-color photos. The colonel's wife had one and my husband loved it, so I got him one for Valentine's and he's happy (and I got myself one.) Also go to www.cafepress.com and run a search for 'army wife'. There are thousands of items (tshirts and more) with little sayings about Army wives - lots of pats on the back, statements of appreciation, etc. Especially tray www.cafepress.com/americanstyle, they have some good ones. The Kodak webpage also has ways you can make photo puzzles, mugs, pillowcases, books, calendards, etc. www.kodakgallery.com Your clothing and sales store may have the 'Army Spouse' coin, which can be engraved on the back with her name. Send her goofy photos of yourself taken with the webcam.

And above all... stay in touch as much as you can. You would not believe how much time we at home spend thinking about you while you're gone - and those phonecalls and letters and postcards and emails are what keep us going!

Answer 5

First of all, I want to thank you for fighting for our freedom and against our enemies. I support the military 100%! May God protect you and the rest of the American soldiers. (smile)

To make your wife feel special, send her an e-card telling her that you love her and miss her so much and just let her know how you truly feel about her. Just send her the cards like every week or photos of yourself to her. Don't let one day go by telling her that you appreciate her taking care of the home and kids, if you have any kids. Tell her to be waiting for you to come home, when it is time to come home to her.

Your wife is one lucky woman to have you to fight for her freedom and for the freedom of many people in the U.S.A, hang in there!

Answer 6

Besides the fact she should already feel very special married to Hoorah guy like yourself serving our country. She should be asking herself what could she do for you. Is she taking care of things while you are gone? Is she eagerly awaiting your return? has she put on wieght that she needs to get rid of before you get back? Is the house clean and the children clean and fed? If you got all that, then yeah, you can think that. Send her a lock of your hair and a sexy love note. (I know men are npt good at that but some are) Send her a picture of you w/puppy dog eyes holding a flower and down on one knee, write on there how much you miss her and can't wait to get home. Talk about your plans for your future. The simple things matter most but the big ones are always welcome too.

Answer 7

I am an Army wife and have been for 16 years, I was always surprised at the things my husband did for me when he was deployed. I got flowers, Thomas Kinkade prints, cards, and teddybears. But my favorite memories were the emails and chats. Pictures of him that he sent I still have in a box with his letter they mean more to me then any of the gifts he sent.
Take care, RLTW

Answer 8

Call her, you can also send flowers to her from where you are just by calling 1-800.flowers.com I believe.. You would really make her happy.. By the way, do you have any friends that are single and nice looking, that would appreciate a nice lady to write to. If so email me ok.. [e-mail] TY.. God Bless you..

Answer 9

Send her love letters in snail mail and e-mail. Order her some flowers once in awhile, you can do that over the internet. When you talk to her on the phone try not to argue, tell her how much you love and adore her. Remember what it was like while you were dating.

Answer 10

if she knew you asked this question to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of total strangers... I think that would send a message.

I think letting her know she is in your heart, half a world away, when you (or she, depending on where or which one of you is deployed) probably have many things more urgent to think and worry about, would be enough. Plan to do amazing things when you can be home.

Best wishes to you both for this sacrifice
