2.0 out of 5 stars wrong title, March 22, 2004

This review is from: How to Survive a Long-Distance Relationship (Paperback)

while this short book wasn't really all that bad, the title is very misleading. it's specifically for individuals dealing with being separated from their military spouse who is deployed. while i am in a long distance relationship with a soldier in the army, he thankfully isn't deployed, but it is still a long distance relationship. there wasn't really any useful advice in the book for me and i'm not really sure there would be any useful advice in the book even for someone with a deployed spouse. most of it is pretty common sense. instead of buying this book, i'd suggest saving your money to send your long-distance loved one a care package.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Military Spouses, March 12, 2004

This review is from: How to Survive a Long-Distance Relationship (Paperback)

This book is an excellent resource for military spouses. It helps to identify the feelings we go through when they are leaving and while their gone as well as how to work through these feelings and know that others go through them too. As an AFTB instructor for the Army I use this as a resource when teaching 1.06 Impact of the Mission on Family Life. It's also a great teaching tool on how to communicate with each other while he's gone, and how to get your relationship back on track once he returns. I strongly recommend this book to all military spouses.
