I was recently asked how being so far away from my husband has affected my marriage. Well I will tell you that being away from Mark is, by far, one of the most difficult things I have ever had to deal with. I have just learned to take it one day at a time.
My marriage is no where near perfect, but we are constantly looking for ways to make it better, despite the circumstances and the distance. We have had to learn quickly how to communicate effectively, manage finances, show our love for each other in creative ways, deal with tragedies and somehow just make it though the day, all while being thousands of miles away from each other. But above all else, we have learned to allow God to remain the author of our love story and to rely on Him for everything.
It's definitely not easy, but we choose every day to allow this deployment to only make our marriage stronger and grow closer to each other. I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful husband, and I thank God every day for bringing him into my life.
