I commend your husband for his deterimination for wanting to make a better life for you and your family.. He is already showing the proper attitude to succeed in the dream.

The wife of a serviceman, is not an easy one either.. there will be times, you will be the sole, responsible person, for the home.. you will be alone, and you will have to do it all, while he is away, for training or deployment.. The military can be hard on a marriage, if one is not wanting to do their share.. but it can succeed, and make your bonds stronger, if you both work at it together..

I think you both are on the right track.. its good you feel comfortable enough to ask us for advice, and I hope we are able to help you. Good luck on your journey!

There is also the aftermath of the time away. The spouse has become so used to doing everything that the returning spouse feels unneeded. This can also cause problems and requires the right attitude.
