Enlisting is not a good pathway to marriage. And besides, if you get married while still in, there are a LOT of cheating military wives. I know this for a fact.

More excuses.

The self-worshiping culture is what the self-worshiping culture creates.

Mark 10:6-12

6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.'a 7 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,b 8 and the two will become one flesh.'c So they are no longer two, but one. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11 He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

I guess it’s either the roll of the dice, the morals of both husband and wife or behaviours during marriage for both partners. Panning for gold sometimes you find a nugget or you just find rocks. I lucked out. Enlisted at 17, got engaged after basic to an almost 15yr old I had originally met when she was 13 before I enlisted. She waited the entire time I was posted to stateside bases and overseas. We only saw each other for a few of my leaves. We married when I was on convalescent leave when she turned 16. She became an Army wife for my last year at the Armys premier armpit base of the 60’s Ft Huachuca AZ and still stayed, that base was brutal. June will be our 49th year married, 51 years involved. Sometimes the dice roll true. Looks like a few on this thread unfortunately rolled snake eyes.
