there are many wives whose husbands are working abroad for better income were having problems. Either way, the husband will be tempted or the wife. It is a tough situation. I have friends who have family problems because of this. Kids are affected of their situation. what is you idea about this? Would it be good? but they are looking at the big income than staying in their country with just a very meager income? Thanks for the idea.

I honestly think that is is not very healthy for a husband and a wife to be apart like that. There are way too many temptations in the world, and it is not always likely that one will give into the temptations, but it is possible. I think it makes it way more stressful on a person, especially if they are just always constatnly wondering if their spouse is safe, or if they miss them, or if they are cheating on them. I think it is best to be with your family. No amount of $ is worth ruining a marriage over.

yes, I do agree with you. But there are other couples who preferred to be separated in order to have a good future "so to speak"... for their kids. To have a good financial standing and a comfortable life. Life is hard and everybody is struggling for existence.. But you're right... family is precious than any dollar can afford to buy.

I live in Canada (I'm Canadian) and my American huband lives and works in the USA. We see eacoher every few months. The odd thing is that we were where we were when we met (we met on line then met in person), we fell in love as we were, and we got married. No problems, no temptations. If love is strong enough, there will be no temptations.

Yes, you are right. If you have trust with your partner and you both love each other, there will be no temptations. How about your kids? I think its not good for a mother or a father away from their children. They have to build strong relationship with their parents this time but if mother or father is not around, how can they feel the love they wanted from them? I think its also a disadvantage for husband or wife to be far from each other.... what do you think?
