Does being a marine wife get any easier?
I think you will find that most women in the situation have children. Their children help to fill the “void” left in their lives. I am not saying run out and have children the next time your honey is on leave :- ) But in the future after you are married you will find that children help. In the meantime, try to spend as much time as possible with family and friends, it is definitely not going to get any easier sitting home and feeling your loss. It may help some to have company and to try to enjoy yourself! Also try to keep in touch with each other as much as possible! I think the beginning of any new relationship is hard because you are so in love that you don’t know what to do with yourself, but you will see, as time passes, and you have been married for awhile, and there are children and other responsibilities, etc., that you can live without that same gut wrenching feeling that you used to have…it just naturally goes away!

It depends on the person, in my experience the absences don’t get much easier. But during the absences, yes things do get better. When my husband (then boyfriend) went to boot camp I was also an emotional wreck. But as things went on it got easier, especially when I started receiving letters from him. The best thing to do is to stay busy and write him a lot. Try to keep your letters positive and upbeat, things will be much harder on him if your letters are really depressing to read. He needs to know that you miss him and love him very much but he also needs to know that you can handle the separation.
