Divorce and the Military
by Joseph Devine
Marriages of all kinds are often subject to long-term stress. When two people live together for long enough, stress is virtually inevitable. Every marriage is different, and what causes stress in one may not cause stress in another. Some may benefit from long periods of time apart, while the same circumstances in another marriage may bring about its end.
Military marriages undergo a very specific set of strains. They face the possibility of sudden moves to far-off locales, rapid deployments, and even premature death. When you're married to someone in the military, it's often like you're married to the military itself. Your life revolves around what the military wants from you and your spouse, and there's not a whole lot you can do about it.
Making It Work
If you want to make your military marriage work, you have to be prepared in advance for the challenges it will face. Some tips that other couples have found helpful include:
Make sure you're comfortable with your partner before marriage. Be certain that you can deal with the challenges of a service marriage with them before getting married.
Make friends with other people in the same situation. Having a sounding board for your problems is a good way to work them out, and if the person cam sympathize with your situation, so much the better.
Work on your communication skills with your partner. Good communication and a sense of trust can help you overcome many relationship challenges.
If It Doesn't Work
Unfortunately, sometimes the problems are too big and divorce is the best option. Military personnel and their spouses may have a difficult time setting their divorce in motion because of the the nature of deployment and the amount of travel involved in the profession. Some don't know where to file for divorce. There are actually three options in this case:
