Marines Marrying Marines...

[GiBarbie310]

I'm a reserve Marine who's marrying an active Marine. A lot of people talk about how marriage in your first enlistment is a bad idea but most of the time, they are talking about Marines who are engaged to civilians. I know balancing the Marine Corps and marriage is difficult but I think that since we're both Marines we both understand the lifestyle and it won't have as much of a negative effect on our relationship. Also, our units are 4 hours away from each other so we would only be able to see each other on the weekends. (when I don't have drill or AT).

Does anyone have any advice for two young Marines who are getting married? Any and all comments and input is welcome.

Thanks!

I do not believe it matters if you are military. If the two of you are compatible then you can make it work. The wife and I are coming up on our 57th anniversary this month. High school sweethearts and still together. Good luck to you.

Why are you listed as a poolee then? You need to square that away with admin, first.
