Would a marriage surrive being separated across the country? My husband and I have both been out of work for?

a month now and we have both been offered positions in Santa Fe, NM and Washington D.C. Both jobs are amazing positions. We have been married for 2 years and we have had problems in the past. We have one daughter together. In your opinion do you think our marriage would survive by being separated by such a distance?Would a marriage surrive being separated across the country?

the question is ';for how long?'; i think many marriages can survive temporary absences, but if it's for a long time, then....one begs the question: why be married?





it must be difficult to be out of jobs and i won't pretend i understand, but i think for the sake of your marriage (which i assume is important to you) and for the sake of your daughter you should try to stay together. you don't want to risk ruining your marriage and/or losing the intimacy.





it'll be tough but marriages are about making sacrifices. maybe one of you will have to get a not-so-good job, but at the end, i think it'll be worth it. missing your spouse is the worst feeling in the world. so if you can avoid it find a job in the same place.

These are tough times, and you would be foolish to pass up job opportunities at this time no matter where they were. If you love each other enough, your marriage will survive through anything, if there are any doubts about your relationship with one another now is the time to find out before one of you moves into a situation that you really do not want. Take the chance while you have a selection of jobs to choose from. When times get better, you will be able to select the job that serves your family the best, you are lucky to have the choices you have, many would give anything for such a chance.
no, i think the one who can get the better paying job should take it and the other partner should move into a place with them and keep looking for a local job only. a move is very expensive. I imagine NO chance at all for a long distance marriage of 2 years with a small child. i know a couple married over 30 years with 3 grown children survived a year apart with visit and daily calls. Both had a job. the wife was transferred and took it for one year to get her retirement money. They both told me it was terribly stressful.
well my experience is that only one in 100 will survive like that. I am in construction and I see guys hit the road for work all the time while the family is at home and way more often than not it ends badly. If you really want to stay together pick one job or the other and learn to live on less until you are both working again.
yes it can work,, only if you want it to.... i think about the wifes who are here in the u,s while their hubbys have been gone in iracq for more than a year or two ,, what makes u think you cant sacrifice a little time away from your hubby? not trying to be mean,, but at least you both have a job and a child,,, do you not see the blessing in there at all?
If one of you is very social, it will not work. Those office get-togethers or guys/girls who are ';just friends'; will ultimately lead to something bad when you are alone. It's human nature. You need to stay together if you want it to work, otherwise I give you 6 months.
I would not be separated. I would take the best job for your family and move there. The other person can look for a job where ever you move to. That is what I would do.
I agree with the first answer
