Dang Woodman! Don't use your name and rank on here!
OPSEC!!!
Anyway...
Congratulations on the birth of your wonderful son!
To keep the fire burning while you are overseas 1) Stay in contact as much as possible and always tell your wife how much you miss and love her, 2) If you are comfortable with sexual talk, then do that too (tell her what you are going to do to her when you get back; what you want her to do to you), 3) Don't always send emails. Surprise her with a handwritten letter expressing your love to her.
I am sure you can think of some others.
Stay alert, Stay alive!
Thank you for your service.

First off, I want to thank you for all that you and our servicemen are doing over there. I would think the easiest and best way would be to write her letters. I know it takes a while for her to recieve them, but they will be cherished keepsakes forever. If she's having a bad day, she can just take out some of the letters and read them. I know this would make me feel better. For your anniversary I would ask a family member or a trusted friend to order flowers for her. Try to think ahead, and send a special letter so they can give it to the florist to attach to the flowers. Congrats on your new addition and thank you again. Stay safe and come home soon.

She loves you and all you have to do is tell her that you love her and can't wait to see her. The fire you speak of is in her heart and it never ever turns off. The only thing you have to do is tell her how much you miss her that is all. NO need to do anything else, nothing at all. Ask her and believe her when she tells you that you are her one and only. You married her right? She married you because you are the light of her life and now you share a life you both made together. Your child is the fire of life's right now...

Congratulations of the birth of your son!
Continue to keep communications open with your wife, and always remind her of how much you love her, and miss her....remind her of all the nice things you want to do alone with her, and as a family when you come home- that will give her MUCH to look forward to!
Good luck to you, and thank you for serving our country!!

i'm sorry which you're in Iraq and having to rigidity approximately such issues. i think of that the conflict in Iraq has been tough on too many militia marriages. i could be disillusioned if I have been on your shoes. i does unlike my better half having those conversations along with his ex's. once you're over in Iraq she must be respecting the vows you made. With that being mentioned, you have purely been married 6 years and you're on your 2nd 12 month excursion. that's a great form of time spent removed from one yet another. that must be problematic on even the suitable marriage. Your spouse is in all probability very lonely and apprehensive approximately your protection. This in all probability explains her habit. it would be great if she ought to dangle out with different better halves whose husbands are in Iraq. it would be great for her, for you and to your marriage. this might provide her somebody to chat to approximately her fears, loneliness and different concerns. Civilian better halves can not feasible comprehend the sacrifices a militia spouse makes. would not the militia have materials for spouses of deployed squaddies? I advise you steer her of their course. Getting indignant won't help the two one among you. tell her you recognize the way she must be feeling. tell her you experience a similar way and which you're feeling undesirable for leaving her lower back. save your communique going sturdy. deliver her many letters, emails, etc. so which you're continually in her suggestions and he or she knows she is often on your suggestions. i'm hoping this might help the two one among you. suitable needs and thank you for protecting our freedom.

If there's anyway possible try sending her flowers, candy, presents ... shop on-line ... call as much as possible ... have your family visit ... there's not much you can do ... as long as you reassure her - how much you love her & can't wait to be with her again ... she'll understand ( she might not like it - but she'll understand ) ... surprise her when you get the chance to visit ... write letters, e-mail ... anything & everything ... I'm sure you're trying ... good luck over there & come home safe - that's all she cares about ... !

just tell her you love her and you think about her and the baby all the time, and if you can send her pictures to keep her updated on how you are doing and you will always be fresh in her mind. By the way thank you for your sacrifice.

Just don't cheat honey, I have heard of so many soldiers having affairs over there it isn't even funny. reassure her of your love every chance you get, tell her you're proud of her and keep it in your pants!
