Marriage
“Treat others as you would treat yourself.” We have all heard it. All had it ingrained into our minds. But, does this rule necessarily apply to marriage? Better yet, to military marriages?
With our husbands training, deploying, reintegrating, TDY-ing, is it possible to treat someone that, at times, you may hardly know, as you would yourself? Especially when “yourself” feels like a foreign concept between dealing with feeling abandoned, angry at times, and yes, at times, accepting that this marriage often means you pull three times more than your weight.
So, that leaves the question: How do we work and preserve our marriages when we often feel anything but married?
Our solution to this is simple: “Treat him the way he requests to be treated. And, teach him how to treat you.”
We are here to delve into exactly how to do this. Some of our tips and discussions will stem around mistakes we have made, progress we have seen and experienced personally, and seeking advice from each other. What you will see here, more than anything else, is a steadfast desire and will to preserve our marriages by strengthening ourselves, and our relationships.
Join us in discussions. Post questions. And support your fellow military wife as she journeys through her military marriage, and we all stand, united, in fighting for our relationships.
