In General it is impossible for a "Marriage" to have problems, it is in fact the relationship you are referring to. What are you concerned with ?.. My wife is a fire fighter and works, eats, sleeps, for 2 weeks at a time in a location many times where she is the only woman. Not once have I ever questioned the Marraige or Relationship. I have seen relationship fall apart when both people work 8 to 5 jobs, and even marriages where they are together 24/7.
Your husband and I assume you have made a decision that this is the way he can make a living for your family. If your relationship is one that would crumble as a result of him being away. It was not built on the best of foundation to begin with.
My son drives for Werner and I have to tell you he has not once called home and said "Dad there are the most beautiful women in the world lining up at every truck stop."
A great post I saw once was something like this " My hubby is only home 36 to 48 hours , give me idea how we can make the most of that time, and still allow him to rest."
In all never blame "Love" or "Marriage", Intimacy is what makes a marriage, not a ceremony, not a piece of paper from the state.
