And being a military wife--mid PCS mind you--I respond with,
"NO! It is not."
But, one thing that has come easy for me in recent years is Loving A Soldier. (LOL: It was definitely a learned behavior.) I got to share some Long-Lasting Love advice with Easy Living magazine this summer. Along with David and me, there were quite a few other couples who shared advice. They're not military, but they are in love and had great tips.
Here is the article from Easy Living UK, July 2011.
“We learn from the low moments”
Starlett and David
Starlett: “Being married to a soldier means we have
our fair share of challenges. David has been on four
deployments since 2001, each lasting an average of
12 months. Some couples have it worse, so you won’t
hear me complain too loudly. We try to focus on the
positive things life brings us. And David has the
right balance of being serious and funny. He’s taught
me to not take things too seriously.
We know it requires effort – from raising our two
children and navigating long-term separations, to planning the future and
making peace with bad decisions in the past.
Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, but we couldn’t appreciate the high moments if we didn’t
respect and learn from the low ones.”
For the full article, click the cover above, read, and enjoy some long-lasting love.
Yours truly, Star
