I have a clue just wondering what other people would do.

Well we are going to visit his mother and family first. We started dating right before he got deployed so this is the big family meeting thing. After that we are going to take off with his daughter for a while and let her overeat and run amok. After she's quieted down a bit and feels comfortable we are going to spend a few days alone and I'll take care of him for as long as he likes. I'll turn into little molly homemaker--except for the pasta for the lasagna. He likes to make that from scratch himself. We're going to watch all the movies he missed that he wanted to see. Talk about the year in sports. Do normal couple stuff for a while until he's ready to start making more definite plans.

When he comes home hes going to need to decompress a little....hes been thru a rough time and then from the minute he steps off the plane he will be overwhelmed with family and friends. They all mean well, but it can become too much.....Talk to one of his buddies and ask him to arrange an outing where he can get away after hes he's been home a few days. He could take him golfing, fishing, camping (whatever your husband enjoys). I know that you r going to want to spend every minute with him but he needs to spend some quiet time where he can relax for the first time in a year or more. He'll love you for the thoughtfulness.

Do not pressure him to talk about what happened over there. He will tell when he is ready. Things are alot different over there, and it will take him some time to get readjusted to being a "civilian" again. Just do little things for him, to let him know you were thinking about him, and all he missed while he was gone. Fix his favorite foods, perhaps take him out to do something that he enjoys, that he was unable to do while in Iraq. In general, just let him know you care for him, and that you are so happy he is home.

Well Run and give him a big hug and kiss...candle light dinner, wine, set the mood and make sweet music, then again it may have been so long that you just ride em like a bull then do the romantic stuff. Don't Nag, or fuss, and be gratefull he is home. God bless you both...

The first and the most important: Avoid to talk about the subject WAR in a general sense.
Change conversations.

Do you know what he likes anymore? You can make something that he likes to eat, something special cause all he has been eating is MRE's and it's really gross. I pasted this earlier to a girl that her hubby was working out of town. But do the grown up stuff and make him feel appreciated!
Here's some recipe ideas:

Find someplace where it is cool and there is snow so you can ski and relax. Also, try not to sneak up on him or make any loud noises to startle him.

welcome him home with open arms. Don't push him to talk about what went on over there. Be there to listen to him if he decides to talk and screw his brains out cause I'm sure he'll need it.
