Is it marriage, when you are miles away from each other..
Submitted by ayen_is on Mon, 07/21/2008 - 09:26.
My husband is a seaman. Luckily for me he comes home every two weeks for 2-3 days. We just got married last year. I feel alone whenever he leaves for work. But now he quit his job at sea, which made me so happy, and now works as a salesman. Not much money but we are together. I call this marriage now, now that we together. Together we tackle life, side by side. [/b]

Good choice
Congratulations on such a choice! The world today would have us believe that to have a good life one needs lots of money which unfortunately translates to having one spouse or both work abroad, thus dividing the family and in the long run endangering the marriage. Smile
There is a world of difference indeed when husband and wife are physically together. Both situations though, being together or apart physically, takes a lot of work. There are instances wherein both husband and wives live under the same roof but emotionally, psychologically they are miles apart. Both situations I think need vigilance either way. It's just easier to deal with things when the other party is near at hand. I pray you and your husband will continue to weather all kinds of marital weather together. Thumb Up!

I would also like to congratulate both you and your husband on your choice to prioritize being present to each other. Having heard of lots of horror stories of spouses becoming slaves to making lots of money so as to have a 'good' life but in the end destroying their marriage because they do not have enough time to be with each other, I commend you on knowing and prioritizing what is truly important. Wealth would be of no worth if it was won at the cost of your married life. I pray that you will continue to make each other your greatest priority, and that your love for one another be truly a reflection of the love that God has shown for all of us.
It´s me again. It´s been a
It´s me again. It´s been a year now since my husband decided that he will not go back to work at sea again. Now we have so much fun together. Make decisions together. I do´t have to wait for his phone call to talk to him. I don´t have to be stressed and worry that I will get a call that there has been an accicent at sea or the ship encountered probles. Now we play golf and do normal married couple stuffs. We go to bed together and just relax. It´s the best decision ever.
Keep it up ayen I am glad

I am glad that you and your husband are truly experiencing the joys of married life. More than the money, what is priceless in the long run is the depth of your relationship. No money can ever repay that.
I will continue to keep you in my prayers
