Military Man Wants To Save Marriage
Distance From Wife, Daughter Takes Toll
- Dear DoubleTake,My wife and I are a young couple. We were high school sweethearts and have been with each other more than three years and married about a year and a half.I am in the military, currently stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C. She is in college in Pittsburgh and is unable to move around with me, so we spend very little time with each other.We have a beautiful 1-year-old daughter who I rarely see.The distance in our marriage takes a toll on us and exaggerates every problem that we have.She wants to get a divorce and I, obviously, do not.I have not heard her voice in more than two months, and that is completely depressing. What steps can I possibly take to prevent a divorce?
