Can a mariage survive if 1 spouse has to move away for work?

There are other occupations where spouses are seperated for long periods of time and alot of those survive. Tell him that you think the marriage is starting to drift because he isn't around much anymore. Ask him to prehaps take sometime off and possibily cut down hours (if it would allow him to see you). Also another soultion would be to move in with him.

Yes, it is necessary. Now that are married you are responsible for each others bills. If something horrible were to happen like an accident and he couldn't work or gosh forbid he should pass, you are looking at a lot of creditors wanting what your husband owes them to be paid. Also, you might be able to consolidate and save, for example, car insurance. There is usually a discount to have you both on one plan versus two seperate policies.

Very possible.  Staying together over years takes alot of work and alot of other things.  Some of them are trust, faith in the other person and be willing to work through what comes your way rather than take the easy way out.  Now days most marriages end in divorce for many reasons because of a variety of things.  But by far the thing it takes the most is the willingness to work at the relationship.  They are alot like other things that takes alot of matinence to keep it going.  Love is not the only thing that will keep it alive it will take work every day to maintain it and allow it to grow and evolve as the years go by.  While love is very important it isn't the only thing needed.

If you've lived in the same complex for 7 years, they already love you, trust me.  As long as you give proper notice to them before moving out, you don't need to worry about harming your reputation with them (it seems like this is what you're concerned about).

Legally, you can...but could you handle it if she and her husband tried to work things out, and she moved back?  Touchy subject.

One of you will have to move...there is no way to get over someone you still have to share a home with.

If you have a dependent and you support them more than half of their support, then you can be head of household. But if you are marriage and live anytime with in the last 6 month of the year with your spouse then you have to either claim marriage joint or marriage filing separate.

With God all things are possible. Please don't forget that.\n\nIf your husband  doesn't believe you cant handle responsibilities believe me he wouldn't travel a lot.\nHandling responsibilities is a character of a virtuous women(Prob 31:10) there is time for everything: time to work,play, eat, cry, rejoices and fight.(Eccl 3)\nAnd I strongly believe your marriage (not relationship) will last and stand the test of time. When couple fight it may be for a lot of reasons: maybe you spend more time at work or he is not doing things you know him for. when you leave work leave everything that pertains to your work at the office and face your family and home squarely.create time to take your husband out on a date and rediscover yourselves, don't let your drive for success get between your family. \n\nWishing you the best.

Sometimes people do get stuck.  But in the same breath some just get comortable.  Through personal experience I have found that the more you enable a man to be lazy, shiftless, and not do much, the less they will do.  If you accept him not helping out he will think that is ok with you.\n\nIt is hard with children, but they should not be made to suffer just because there is a grown child in the home who doesnt want to work and help out.  It is financially a bad idea for you to allow him to stay at home.\n\nMy fiance went to college and held a full time job just to make sure things at home were taken care of.  I also worked, even throughout my pregnancy.  With three kids, we needed all the money we could.  \n\nI left my ex first for all of the reasons you had listed above.  I no longer wanted to be around such a hateful person who didnt help.  I deserved better- so i left ang got better.\n\nmost people never realize how good they had it until it leaves!

It depends...how long have you two known each other and who will be making the sacrifice to move away? Let me guess you'll be the one. What are you leaving behind and is moving really worth it? Have you two known each other long enough?

Depends on the laws of the locality where the wife resided. I only wonder why you would ask this?

Yes if I had reasons and opportunities there.\n\nIf this was someone I had known for a while, I could find a job there and had a reason to live there I definitely would.  But I would never move just for them.  It puts all sorts of extra stresses on the relationship, if the person coming doesn't have a job waiting, or living arrangements, or a real reason to be there other than that person.\n\nI can understand wanting to make a relationship work, and it won't while there's such a distance. However, just one sacrificing everything for the other, doesn't work.

If your future spouse works, they take that into consideration. SSD may cut your check some depending on how much your spouse makes but you wont lose all of it.

If you dont think it will, you are wrong, thats not to say that you wont eventually get there.  Its just that once you get married, you now have to support someone else, you have to give them your time, you have to show them that they are #1 in your life.  Finances are the biggest problem for most in this situation.  Most have to work and go to school and there isnt really time to do both and give your spouse they time they need, want, and deserve.

I think that it all depends on the couple and their expectations. If that is truly her desire then, that is what she should do. It is hard in this economy to sustain a family on a single income.

Give it at least 6 months to a year.  Make some new friends and find another job.  Don't give up just yet.  Make an honest effort though, don't just "wait it out."  If after all that you still are unhappy and want to move back, then talk it over with your husband.  Even though larger places have more to do, smaller towns have advantages too.  You aren't as invisible, your family can always help with the child(ren), crime rates are usually lower, cost of living is usually less, to mention a few.  You already know the advantages of a larger city since you lived there.  Hope this helps!
