My wife and I had the brilliant idea of moving after our first child. Zero help from family....That was a tough time and it tested our marriage. All good now, but I think I lucked out having a patient wife.
My wife and I have been through it all in aviation. 24/7 Charter, Cargo, the great 91 job, Part 121 airlines. Ended up getting fired over politics from the 91 job moved 5 times in a year, losing a child at birth, and raising two boys. Part 121 airline job ain't got nothin on what life can really throw at a marriage. And I'm only 31. Aviation is tough on a marriage but you got to make sure you marry a woman that is willing to tolerate the life style and can adapt to any situation.
