I have been married for almost a year but my husband and I have spent more time apart then together because he is in the Army and they seem to want to keep us apart. We are starting our family, I am pregnant and have had to do it mostly alone. He has been training for three months missing almost the entire second trimester and was in AIT when I found out that I was pregnant and had to tell him over the phone and he got back and was here for a month and then left for his duty station and we had to wait for 2 months before I got there. It has been very hard but we have written letters and emails, taken pictures of everything we do, we talk on the phone as much as possible, it has been hard but doable. It has been a testimony builder for me because my husband is not a member but when we moved from Idaho to New York he has been more than willing to go to church with me so that I wouldn't have to go alone. It gives me hope that he will accept the gospel some day and I am so grateful to my husband and my Heavenly Father, I have had so many blessings come my way since I have had to be so far away from everything that I know. The only two things that have been steady in my life have been my husband and the church. It was and is very reassuring that those things never change.
