Does anyone have any advice for a military wife?

my hubby is getting deployed. encouragement?Does anyone have any advice for a military wife?
i can't imagine how tough this must be on you.


all you can do is keep in touch with him as much as permitted, pray for him, encourage him, and just live your life like.


Unfortunately there is nothing you can do, except hope for the best and come in terms with the consequences of his job.





I hope he comes back happy and healthy.Does anyone have any advice for a military wife?
Since you're a spouse, things are somewhat easier versus being a girlfriend. You can get involved with the Family Readiness Group (FRG) or check in with you ombudsman for playgroups, family cook outs etc. IF it an IA then your command should have some type of holiday events coming up. And keep yourself looking good. If you're not in shape now, use this time to get there. A lot of women tend to let themselves go while the spouse is on deployment. And stay faithful. If he's doing his job then you have no worries. The big thing is support. He needs you to be supportive on the homefront, especially is kids are involved. Stay focused so he can stay focused and provide positive reenforcement. I am the military member in my case and if I had all of this then I would have no worries.
As a military girlfriend, I have been there. My bf has been in Afghanistan since June, and actually comes home for a break in 12 days.


It is going to be tough at first. My advice, don't wait by the phone or computer for calls or emails. Even if he says he will call before you go to bed, something may come up or they cannot get signal and he is then unable to get ahold of you. Don't freak out :) He will call/email like he says, it just might take a little longer.


He might tell you about his days, and trust me, some of the stories might scare the hell out of you, but he just needs to vent. I look at it this way, he is still able to call me :)


I hope this helps you. Your husband is a wonderful man who has chosen to do something heroic. As the wives and girlfriends, we need to stay strong and be positive. Here is a quote I like to think of:


';In the end, things will be okay. If things are not okay, it is not the end.';
Everyone says Stay Strong but if everyone was actually stuck in this position its easier said then done you go from seeing you husband,friend,lover, basically your world everyday to not knowing who knows when you will get to see them next but somehow you learn to stay strong sometimes you will break down thats when you need a close relative or friend close by but your main reason for staying strong is for him and when you agreed to being married you basically stated the words I love you I choose to stand by u no matter what well this is the life he chose so stand by and be proud of your soldier
You will need to be a strong woman. Be loving and firm with him. They have a tendency to get out of line. But be faitful and supportive and I wish you two many blessings.
im in the same situation. i hope you find something that works for you. and for me too lol.
Why do women do this to themselves by marrying military men?
Stay strong.. It will get better over time...Find some thing to occupy your time in a positve way..
