91 Days from Home

Like the title states its been 91 days since I have been home and we have no idea when we are going to get back. This is just not natural, we are not meant to be away from our loved ones for that amount of time. Just being where I'm at makes it hard and the uncertainty that surrounds us. I don't think people can really understand what it's like until they have to do it. It is not natural for a husband to be away from his wife for a year. I understand that this is part of being in the military but really a whole year!!! They wonder why the divorce rate is so high for those in the military. I can honestly say that I have never crossed the line in my marriage but in my 16 years I have seen many married members, male and female cross that line. I ask myself how and why. I kind understand it somewhat but in the same sense I don't know how they can act like it never happened and go on with there lives. You have to look your spouse in the eyes when you get home and then what. The temptation is there and being separated makes it very easy but at what price. Is it worth the cost of losing your marriage? I say no. What has happened to "till death do us part" is it just a thing of the past? Marriage takes work and committment without that it loses its meaning. Lets get back to the importance of fidelity!!! That's right FIDELITY, this should go hand in hand in marriage. If you can't agree than don't get married!!!
