Getting ready for first deployment so: What are some things you've done for your spouses that has made it easier or better for them?

2LT (Join to see) remembered their birthday, anniversaries, holidays, etc. Get them gifts. Also, I sent random gifts such as a jar with reasons why I love her so she can unwrap one a day. Random flowers to her work so she can feel excited and share it with her co-workers. Skype and Facetime when available. Just a few ideas that may help depending on where you go if you can do all of them or not.

Made sure things are taken care of at home, all paperwork is filled out and done, and that they have a good system of support while gone. They know who to call if they need help, etc.

set up wills and power of attorneys.
