Long Distance Marriage:Hey Trucker Wife Here’s a Tip! A Simple Solution to Reignite The Passion In Your Marriage

Being romantic used to be so much easier.  After a few years of marriage, and especially when you welcome children to the family, romance and intimacy seem to take a back seat. Adding a long distance marriage to your lifestyle well you must really wanted to test your love for your spouse. 

All jokes aside you can't let the challenges of long distance relationships nor your kids get in the way of you building a strong married life. 

When life gets busy, you need to get closer to your trucker.  You need to feel more connected than ever and remind yourself and your trucker about the magic that brought you to this place. I know all too well how life was so perfect until he choose to get into the trucking field. Now it takes all you can to keep for ringing each other necks due to miscommunication, assumptions, and separation anxiety that cause loneliness. 

The reality is that romance takes a bit of effort when you become an insanely busy long distance couple.  It takes some planning, but it doesn’t require a lot money or even much time away from home. Being that your trucker is not there this makes things easier to plan. 

With the right attitude and some solid advice, you can definitely recapture those giddy feelings you had before the trucking lifestyle.  

Actually, long distance married romance can be way better. Here’s 3 reason why:

1. Its better because you are happy to see each other.

2. It’s better because you actually have things to talk about.

3. It’s better because you can act like a kid again and plan, date, and surprise each other without the other person being there to ask a millions times what are you up too. 

Real Talk,

Here’s Your Simple Solution!

Schedule Time to Be Alone

You should have a regular date time when your trucker get home from off the road.  If you treat your dates as optional or “schedule” them after all of the “important” things are taken care, you will never have dates! Trust me I know from experience. 

First thing first. Get rid of the kids for at least a couple of hours and plan something for the two of you. Seriously, your date time should be a high-priority appointment that is scheduled well in advance and doesn’t get trumped for anything short of an emergency.

If you value your marriage, realize that you NEED this time together.  Seriously you’re in a long distance relationship that will cause distance unless you nurture it. 

Not only am I trucker wife but I also live in Atlanta four hours away from close friends and family. So if a babysitter is a issues I get it. Been there done that! Here’s a solution:

• Enjoy an at home date night.
• Do something during the day, while your kids are outside playing or having a playdate.
• Wait until the kids go to bed, better yet put them to bed early. 

I know many of you are rolling your eyes. I get it! When he comes home yes, I know he will be tired. He will want to be lazy and watch television. He will try to leave and go out and socialize with the guys. Or he will do whatever you ask because you made the night about him and how much you love him. 

Think Positive and act loving and you will get what you want. Perhaps you desire to sit and watch Netflix if so awesome plan a dinner and a movie.  For me that’s sex, cuddle time, then dinner! I don’t know I’m weird I have sex on the brain after 3-4 weeks being alone. 

I hope these tips make it easier for you to find time for your spouse.  There’s really no better investment in your marriage than quality time spent together.

I would love to hear how you plan dates with your Trucker Hubby when he come home from over the road.
