Answer 1

I say have a friend and or a family member take your wife out for lunch and while they are out have rose petals and roses awaiting her with candles lit all in the house and you be waiting there to surprise her,you can be dressed laying on the bed or stark naked,I am sure she would appreciate it and so would you,Thanks for serving our country!

Answer 2

I am a wife of a soldier who's been deployed for 2 years in Iraq so I know the answer to this question.

If your planning on surprising her your home cause she don't know your coming - Just show up!!

First off just come home safe. IF you want to get her something (lord knows you should be the one getting pampered right now) then get her something she like (ex- flowers - chocolates- lingerie) get home and play some love makin music, and make long sweet love, kiss every part of her body and let her do the same to you.

or

Maybe run the bath water and strip her down, then join her in the tub while u wash eachother and sip on champagne.

or

Order your favorite dinner and eat together by the fireplace (if u got one) or at the table with some candles and soft music. Of course after whatever you do it should lead to sex - I know we always do and it's like the first time.

Thanks alot for all you've done for this country!!!!

Well my idea may be lame but I know it would be pretty awesome to be surprise in a BIG way. Ok here it is. Why don't you try to contact ''GOOD MORNING AMERICA" or OPRAH or maybe Reggis and Kelly, and see if they could help you out. TV shows like these are pretty good about this stuff. They might help you get them tickets to the show the day you get home and then have them come up on stage for some crazy reason and then you could walk out on stage too. They really get a kick out of surprising families like this and it's good for their ratings! What cha got to lose. You guys could have a nice time and you never know the TV show might even want to put you up into a nice hotel for a couple of night and treat you to a night on the town. Yeah I know it's lame but you wanted idea's.

Answer 4

This is can be kind of mean (depends on how your wife is)...this is what I did.

If your wife has a good girlfriend that she hangs around to or talks with alot, call up her girlfriend and let her know of your plans.

Make sure your wifes girlfriend has "Surveillance" so to speak and find out when your wife is going to be home for sure.

When you know your wife is home go to your house but don't go in yet and call her up saying that the deployment has been extended a few more months...get her sad and emotional

Then just walk into the house with a bunch of flowers and crap and say "Just Kidding!" and then she'll probably slap you.

The sex is great though!

Answer 5

aww how sweet!! =)

does she know when you're comin home?
if she doesnt, call her before u get there, to make sure she's home.
then, show up in your cute little uniform, buy her favorite flowers, and her favorite candy.. and get her something from where you were deployed that she would like.. not something like a gun or something a guy would like.. but something meaningful that she would appreciate and would lke to see..

plan to do something special with her that day.. take her out to dinner, go on a walk at the beach, do something sweet and romantic..
spend the whole day with her.. turn your phone off so she knows that all ur attention is on her.. with no interruptions..

tell her how much u missed her and love her..

I was gonna say propose to her or something but i guess that's out of the question.. hahaha

GOOD LUCK!!

When are you coming back? When I was with my ex he told me he couldn't make it home for Christmas and I was soooo sad. Well he told me a couple of weeks before Christmas that he mailed out my Christmas gift and all this and that he hoped I got it in time. He's like, I'm guessing it will be there Thursday or Friday. Well Friday came around and I heard the doorbell ring and I was excited to see what he sent me! I opened the door and there he was, in full uniform with a dozen roses... I cried my eyes out. It was the most romantic thing ever and I will never ever forget it. We are still the best of friends and those surprises mean so much... and they always will!!

Answer 7

Don't surprise her because you may find she is busy elsewhere. Instead let her know you are coming and let that be way enough for the joy in her heart.

If I were expecting my hubby, I would just like to know he is coming home, safe and healthy. Then we could plan something special like a trip somewhere close but quiet (you can research those online in advance). When I was a child my Dad returned from military duty outside of the US and though Mother knew he was coming, they planned a quiet retreat, sans kids.

Answer 8

Like everyone else said you coming home is the best thing you could do. Now that being said, if you insist on surprising her. Call her and send her on a scavenger hunt. Have her friends in on it. Here's some suggestions for the hunt:
Have her go to the store find something with a cork in it that will make your toes tingle. answer:wine
Have her go to the florist and get something that smells sweet
answer:flowers
Have her go to Victoria Secrets and get something silky
answer:something silky
Have her go to the Hilton and ask for room number ______
answer:YOU

God bless you and the other men & women who are fighting to keep our country safe.

Answer 9

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for serving our country....

My fiance is in the airforce and I know how hard it is to be away from someone you love for such an extended period of time!

Just my fiance coming home safe and sound has been enough for me....but it is nice to get surprised with it.

I had no idea he was coming home and he had told me that his deployment was extended for another two months. We live together and while i was away at work, he had his best friend who has the spare key to our apt. come in and cover the place in rose petals and put a bottle of wine on ice and basically "romance the place up" since my fiance wasn't getting home until just before i got off of work and wouldn't have time to do it himself. When I opened up the door, there were candles and roses EVERYWHERE with petals leading from the front door to the balcony. He was out there on the balcony, down on one knee and our song was softly playing on a cd player. ("At last" by Etta James) I literally tackled him and started crying. I was SOOOOO relieved to have him back in my arms healthy and alive! That was when he asked me to marry him.....and well...the rest is history.

EDIT: By the way-i agree completely with M33po on the sex thing. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT! If she is anything like me, she will most definitely want to make love to you multiple times that night-so make sure to sleep on the plane on your way home-you are going to need the rest! PS: It is going to be the greatest sex you will ever have by the way.

Answer 10

My ex when he was deployed didn't tell me the exact date he was coming in. My schedule is pretty regualr so the day he got back he called the house to make sure I wasn't there. then he called to verify I was at work with one of my co-workers to make sure I was in that day and he had enough time to get in the house before I got home. When I got in he was asleep in our bed....he had brought flowers and put them everywhere.....it was kind of funny because later he said he had all intentions of being awake to cook dinner before I got in but was so tired he passed out. it was still an amazing surprise!
