“It is easier to deal with necessary separations
than ones we feel are unnecessary.”
(Diane, from Peterswife.org)

The above statement can be true or untrue for you. But whatever the case, when one spouse is away from the home for extended periods of time, it can cause a major strain on the household, the marital relationship, and on both individual spouses involved. With that being the case, we need to try to make the best of the situation as we can.

The article we’re featuring is one that comes from the web site www.peterswife.org which is a ministry dedicated to bring “help and encouragement for women living cross-culturally.” Not only is the content of this article helpful but as you scroll to the bottom you can click into “Hubby’s Away Comments” which also has some helpful information.

A lot of what is going to be discussed in this article can actually be adapted to help husband’s if their wives are away so keep that in mind if you know someone in that situation, and let them know about it.

And also keep in mind that the dynamics of every situation is different. If you want to adapt it to fit your marital situation or use all of it or none of it, you have that option. Just be prayerful and also flexible because like the saying goes, “Those who are flexible shall not break.”
