Update on my marriage!!

Ok so I'm not sure how many of you guys remember, but a few weeks ago I announced that I proposed my boyfriend that I had been with for years. Being that you all are my reborn family, I thought I'd update you on some stuff that's been going on so far. First thing: the actual wedding won't be for a while (being that I'm about to leave for the Navy). However, we went to city Hall and are legally married (Yay!). Second, I'm leaving for boot camp soon, then shortly afterwards A-school (in Navy terms: school for your job). We've heard alot about how difficult it is to be in the military and have a civilian relationship, but we want each other and are willing to work through it. I'm sure some of you have your opinions about long distance relationships so don't be afraid to post them below. Thanks again to everyone who wish me luck when I first told you all. Thanks for all the support.

Hey! Congratulations and best wishes! Kudos to you both, and I hope you continue to nurture and love each other. :) I don't know much about long-distance, and even less about marriage, but keep in touch as much as possible and keep communicating with each other.

Hello friend! We don't quite know each other, but it's my opinion that long distance relationships are hard, but worth it. :) I have no doubt that the two of you can stay strong, considering you're already committed to each other and have been so for quite a long time it seems. With military it may a bit hard, but the ability to be honest and talk things through are what keeps LDRs strong.

I've found two things to be the most helpful.

1. Setting aside time for each other, whenever possible.

2. Being honest and open about feelings and what's going on in your lives.

Generally that's good relationship advice for any type of relationship though, and I'm sure you're familiar with it. So I guess just try to keep it up because it sounds like you have a great thing between the two of you. Best of luck!

Oh congrats. I read the other thread, so I can only wish you the best with both your relationship and your military career. Worry not, for a meaningful relationship shall endure even the harshest of days, and overcome even the greatest of obstacles in the way. Arrange your time in order to spend it in a fruitful manner with your boyfriend-now husband and since you too are dedicated, this will last and be a happy family.

I hope you went to the recruiter to file your marriage paperwork. You will be getting extra money for being married, then extra money as separation pay while you're in basic, and you won't have to have a meal card, where the army sucks $350 a month out of your paycheck to put food in a dfac you will rarely eat in.

Other than that, congrats and good luck making it all work out.
