any advice on marriage and deployment?
I’m getting married in July. I’m really nervous and I need all the advice I can get on anything that has to do with weddings/marriage/keeping a healthy relationship. He’s a marine and will be deploying in September. I’m moving where he’s stationed and will be going to community college there. I’m only 19 and he’s 20. When he deploys, it will be my first time being alone since I’ve always lived with my family. Any advice on how to keep myself happy and keep our relationship healthy through deployments? Thanks in advance!
Okay, couple bits of advice.
First, join the wives club on base. It will help you make friends and will give you some people in similar situations to talk to.
Stay busy.
Invest in a webcam, being able to see each other will help some.
Calling cards.
Visit your family part way through to break up the time if you can.
Stay busy.
Write him a lot of letters. He’ll love them and it will keep him feeling like he is a day to day part of your life.
Good luck.

My wife just kept herself busy. Take as many classes as possible and maybe even throw in some volunteering. It gets lonely, but the trick is staying busy. Make friends with the neighbors, their spouses are probably out too right now and also feel lonely. Write letters everyday and make sure you post a lot of pics up (we did Myspace)

Be supportive to him no matter what. He’s going to be working long hours and might have to go days where he can not talk to you. Be there for him. The last thing he wants is to have you nag at him because he’s not there for you the way you need him to be. Be proud of him for doing what he’s doing. Make friends with the other wife’s who’s husbands are deployed. Take a lot of classes to keep yourself occupied and find a hobby, learn how to crochet or something.
