Hoping this gets better

So after our news the other day and talking to people about it, all I seem to hear is that moving with the Army will get better. Thus far they have completely changed Nathan's orders twice at the last minute, back in March and now. I have to say at this time I don't have the greatest faith that the Army is very good at this orders and planning ahead business. All I can really do at this point is hope that as Nathan completes these schools that it will cut down on opportunities for the Army to change his orders at the last minute.
Something that I have found quite amusing as I try to work through all of this is that everyone seems to want to share their advice on what makes a perfect marriage. Its quite amusing to hear how different the idea of a perfect marriage can vary from person to person. I also found myself getting marriage advice from a woman who is now in her 6th marriage. Somehow I don't find her exactly being in a position to be able to step up and offer marriage advice, perhaps with that many marriages she may finally figured out what doesn't work in a marriage.
The best marriage advice that I have been given so far is quite simple and to the point. It comes from one of my favorite nurses to work with, a nurse that has given me lots of great advice over the last year and a half. Her advice is this marriage is all about give and take from both. If you are always the one taking, you will never gain a true respect for everything that your partner brings to the table. If you are the one always giving, you are going to get burned out quick. With this in mind marriage is all about compromises and deciding what is truly important to both.
I am anxiously waiting to hear from Nathan tomorrow when he gets back from the field so we can talk and figure out what we are going to do. From my end I am going to keep the give and take advice in mind while talking, and trust in God that he will point us in the right direction.
