I think having men and women together in those situations can be very destructive to marriages. I especially think men and women living in such close quarters (like on a ship) for such a long time just shouldn't happen.<br /><br />A ship is bad enough, but they just started letting women on subs too.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182861834635420699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-46120929818240461202010-06-09T07:59:12.161-05:002010-06-09T07:59:12.161-05:00Meghan, do you think it was easier on marriages on...Meghan, do you think it was easier on marriages once-upon-a-time when the guys were deployed <i>together/</i> and the women were left home <i>together</i>?

At least for us it did. On the other hand, I think Gary might be on to something. I thought about Alex's work situation...imagine men and women spending seven months on a Navy ship together without their spouses. Not surprisingly, It's bad news for a lot of couples.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-69170068993621650912010-06-07T16:55:05.230-05:002010-06-07T16:55:05.230-05:00I wish you would have posted this last week when I...I wish you would have posted this last week when I was on an airplane and trying to decide if it was worth the $2 for headphones.
