From relocation to deployment, protocol to finances, and career to kids, Leyva offers time-tested advice about: • Keeping your love life together during deployments Written by a seasoned military wife, this smart and savvy guide will help you take control at every point of your servicemember's career -- from filing marriage papers as newlyweds to choosing prenatal and child care when you start a family to figuring out his pension when he's ready to retire. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ICKY POO YUCK and EWWWWWSorry about the kindergarten dialogue but after reading this DISGUSTINGLY condescending book, that's all I'm capable of saying. First off, the title on the book really should have been, "Married to the Navy". I really found it no help to me as an Army spouse. Also, I was alarmed how inaccurate her information was-- in several different areas. Also, the book reeked of stereotypical female roles from another era. I could almost picture the author greeting her husband at the door wearing an apron over ... Read More Rating: - was not helpfulthis book was not helpful to me. and that is all i am going to say. Rating:  - Great intro book if you don't know much about military life!I work for USAA which has made me a tiny bit more familiar with military life and has opened my opinion of dating military guys. I've begun to date someone in the AF and am now considering going into that or my first choice, the Coast Guard. I LOVED THIS BOOK! I don't know how anyone of the other readers picked up a condescending tone because I don't see it; and, granted I know nothing yet, but the different branches of the military can't be THAT different, and I don't think this book was more representative ...

It only contains relevant data, unlike the others which for the most part contain common sense. This book has a lot of useful information like websites and names of organizations to contact for different things. I would definitely recommend this book to any military wife or fiance. Rating:  - I'm a military girlfriend and it didn't help much.I'm a military girlfriend who's boyfriend is currently deployed to Iraq. This book looked interesting and seemed like a helpful tool for me while he is away. I started reading it. I got to about the fourth page and decided it wasn't the best for me. It's more for a military spouse with children. The jargon available was helpful, but I was extremely disappointed in the overall quality of information provided. If you're looking for a good read, Separated by Duty, United in Love is an absolutely phenomenal read. ... Read More
