Being a Military Wife is Hard Because…. You’ve got to hold it together when your husband leaves to work in a really dangerous place for months on end or more. You’ve got to be okay with moving half way around the world from your family. You’ve got to be okay with your husband missing all the special stuff like birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, or gasp….the birth of your child. You’ve got to be okay with putting your career on the back burner sometimes because moving all over the place and maintaining a career isn’t as easy as it looks. You’ve got to be okay with letting go some of the control in your life because Lord knows the military is going to make some big life decisions for you. You’ve got to be okay with leaving close friends and family behind while you start a new life. You’ve got to be okay with having a courthouse wedding when you really wanted a big one because military life or a deployment prevented it from working out that way. You’ve got to be okay with facing way more drama in the military community than you ever wished. You’ve got to be okay with parenting alone and feeling lonely sometimes. You’ve got to be okay with making new friends over and over and over again. You’ve got to be okay with spending as much of your marriage apart as you do together. You’ve got to be okay with talking about death, dying, and the traumatic effects of war. You’ve got to be okay with finding the positive in the midst of really, really hard. You’ve got to be okay choosing happiness in the midst of some really challenging circumstances. But I must add I would not choose my life to be any other way. I love being a military wife, all the new experiences and wonderful friends I have made all over the world literally. Yes, it can be difficult at times, but without the difficult times and all the times of separation we would not have the strong trusting relationship we have. I thank God everyday for giving me a man who loves God, and his Country, and his Family more than life itself. I am truly blessed. Looking forward to a few more military years. Loving Life.
