The challenge will be tremendous but my wife and I have been separated geographically many times over overseas deployments and we have been together over 25 years.<br />Blessings to you both and God Speed!

Marriage is expensive whether you start spending money before the ceremony or afterwards. Depending on her rate and your MOS there are not a lot of places for the two of you to be co-located. Get ready for the long distance and if you are actually in it for the right reasons you will figure it out. Marriage is for adults, you make a decision, stand by it, and make shit happen.

What you have described isn&#39;t anywhere close to &quot;best&quot;. Now I&#39;m​ as romantic as the next guy. I just finished the umpteenth cuddle of the day with my wife of forty years to pick up my Droid and read your post. I&#39;d recommend that you see how well you two handle a long distance relationship before tackling a long distance marriage. That will also give you time to explore the options of dual assignments. Trust me, love doesn&#39;t conquer all CPT Jack Durish Mon, 10 Apr 2017 23:59:09 -0400 2017-04-10T23:59:09-04:00 2017-04-10T22:26:06-04:00
