My answer is this.... NO because I would have to say that no one knows any thing for sure....only God.... Keep your HOPE in God let him know of what kind of woman you seek.....HOPE is surety in what we hope for and certainty in what we do not see. Thats just my opinion on any one having the whole answer to anyones future. GivenLife Post Reply

Posted : 11 Jan, 2010 07:27 PM You will have much more temptations then you normally would have stateside because of all the women that want to marry an American. Plus anywhere there is a military base you'll find all kinds of people pandering to the dark side of a man's nature. Add to that your comrades pushing you towards sinning and ...well..it is going to be tough -- I've been there! Find your Chaplin or a Local Pastor or Church to help you. I will add my prayers!

Posted : 11 Jan, 2010 08:05 PM I'm not sure why those girls said that, but for myself I would hesitate to get involved with or even get to know someone who was going into the military. It would be hard to not be able to see or spend time with someone I was interested in. It would be hard to think this person was going into danger and could be killed -- it would make me hesitant to get closer to him. And yes, there is the fact that you will be getting a lot of girls wanting to marry you and there will be lots of temptatioins for you. Thank you for volunteering for service. God bless you, and may the Lord watch over you and keep you and bless you. Post Reply
View Profile History	navy life too much for women too handle? Posted : 11 Jan, 2010 08:21 PM I have to disagree with the girls who said this to you. I have dated military men (3) and married one. It can be a very lonely life, especially for a wife, if she is relocating frequently. Changing schools for the children can be stressful sometimes, BUT there are thousands of us that have done it ( or are doing it ). I think the absences can make a marriage (or relationship) very strong because if you want to keep it, you have to work all the harder to do so. It makes one tend not to take the relationship for granted, and makes the time you have together all the more special. Even though my marriage did end, it had a fairly long run - 27 yrs. It just takes the dedication of BOTH people to make it work, AND God needs to be first in the relationship. You will find someone who will be up for the challenge, and if they are a true Christian, you may have the marriage or relationship of your dreams. Post Reply

Posted : 12 Jan, 2010 02:14 PM I think that the reason women say this is because they have or know someone who has been burned in the past by military men. I know this from experience. It isn't so much that they can't handle them; for many of us, military men are very attractive. I have great respect for anyone serving our country for my freedoms, but as another said here there are alot of temptations out in the military. Add this with long periods of time apart and this gets very difficult to deal with, but it can be done! My first serious relationship was with a marine and he cheated on me. This honestly has scarred me. But, I am confident that whoever God wants me to be with, military or not, he will be a great honorable guy! So my advice is to stay strong and clear of temptation, and the right girl will come along. Post Reply

Posted : 12 Jan, 2010 04:40 PM kmalsmith, My son met a woman while he was in the Air Force [he's now in the Navy] just before he left for Kuwait. They kept in touch via email and phone calls while he was gone. She is my daughter-in-law, for over 4 years now. :glow: Don't let your service to the military or what your friends may say, stop you from desiring or having a relationship. If a woman truly loves you, she will commit herself to you and wait for you. God Bless You! Jackie Post Reply
View Profile History	navy life too much for women too handle? Posted : 12 Jan, 2010 06:32 PM from my perspective and experience (knowing naval families)... YES. You are young, stay single, experience the reason why you joined, develop some of that life maturity... then start looking. Post Reply

I just want to say that I know that the Lord God will provide the right woman for you whether you are in the military when He does it or not! :) If you are in the military, when He does I bet you anything that she will not care, and that if she is REALLY into you and you into her, she will wait for you :) Post Reply

southerngrace09 View Profile History	navy life too much for women too handle? Posted : 19 Jan, 2010 12:24 PM I have a lot of experience with dating a man in the navy. Its hard, im not going to lie, and not all girls can do it. Its as simple as that, but the right girl will. You have to be willing to push through the exhaustion and make it work sometimes.
