- Advice, if he is in a deployable unit it is harder of course. Just talk, patience and like someone else said keep making that lemonade.
More advice, make friends with wives in your unit. They can be lots of support. Make them your second family.

- My only piece of advice I guess I could give is to remember what the Corps stands for.....FREEDOM and BEING THE BEST!! Support your spouse by supporting yourself....make friends, get involved with the volunteer services and always keep on making "Lemonade". :-)

- The way i see it is, if we made it through boot camp im sure we can handle whatever life will send our way, as i hope you can all do. if you really love the person who you are with and the lines of communication are there, then theres no reason not to make it. Think positive and always have faith, the big man up there will never throw more than you can handle even though is seems that way at times.... God bless...
Ivy
- The one peace of advice I think I can give is...You are best off if you have a good attitude about your life. No matter what situation you are in, try to make the best of it. If your husband is away, take the time to do some things that you have been putting off because you would have rathered spend the time with him. Over all dont forget why you are here, most likely it is to make your life better for the future. And always give your husband the support he deserves.

- Hi! Well my boyfriend is stationed in Oki, Japan that is, 8000 miles away. It is tough to know that he is half a world away but I make it because I know that he loves me more than anything and that I love him more than anything. Love is the most important part of a relationship that has miles between the two people. One small but valuable piece of advice is stay busy, work, get a job or two, go back to school, do something that you enjoy and that keeps you busy. Good luck to all and may God bless you all!!

- I think that the main thing to remember, as other women have said, is smile. If you get depressed about the separation and the hardship, you only make him depressed, too. Now, if you smile, and focus on the important stuff, like you love him more than anything on this earth, then he can see that you're happy with what you have, and that makes him happy. Seeing him happy always makes me happy, so it all gets paid back....as long as you smile everything will be alright. :-)
