S1: A love language minute. Here's Doctor Gary Chapman on struggles

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,720
S1: that military couples face.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,280
S2: Well, one is of course, that you never know when

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,680
S2: you're going to be deployed. I mean, we have couples

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,640
S2: who one of them is a salesperson and they're gone,

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,960
S2: you know, Monday through Friday, come home and they basically

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,560
S2: have weekends together. But we don't have that awareness hanging

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,200
S2: over our head that today I may get orders to

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,919
S2: be gone in just a week or so. So that

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,640
S2: alone is a key difference between civilian marriages and military marriages.

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,320
S2: I think another factor is when they come back, you know,

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,360
S2: how do we reconnect after you've been apart for nine months?

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,480
S2: How do you how do you come back and reconnect

14
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,839
S2: with each other? So all of those are things we

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,040
S2: deal with in the book. And I, I know that

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,760
S2: military couples struggle with this because so many of them

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,160
S2: have talked to us about it.
