Military Spouses: Find Hope on the Home Front

I've been deployed in Iraq for one year now and we were recently told we are to be extended for another 125 days. My wife Michelle has been a blessing to me and it all boils down to one thing...our faith and trust in God. I belong to the Battalion Missionary team and have counceled with many individuals who have and are going through divorces and hardships and the majority of them, if not all, lack one thing and that is having God as a center.

After reading the article I wish I had it from the start so husbands could have sent it to their wives in the beginning. I believe it could have changed some marriages that have already fallen apart but its never too late. There are many other spouses going through the same thing that could use this information not only to help with there relationships with their spouses but more importantly with GOD.

Thank You and God Bless,

My wife and I are both in the Air Force. She is deployed now and I am at home since my career field doesn't really deploy at all. It is annoying because I feel like I should be out there with an M14 protecting my wife, but I'm not. I'm here safe and sound in the U.S. This article helped a lot. I do need to focus on Christ and pray for God's protection from temptation. Thanks for your concern for those of us at home battling the enemy in the absence of our wingman.
