Marriage is not 50/50. Marriage is 100/100, it takes 100% of each of you to give to each other. I married my soul mate who was also in the service. At the time I had 2 small children from a previous marriage while still being on active duty. She saw my needs and responded by giving up her career in the military to take on my family needs. Since then we have between us 2 more children making it a total of 4, 10 grand children, 7 great grand children. 48+ years and still going strong. Being ex military she understood the needs of the Air Force when it came time for me to be transferred to Asia for an unaccompanied tour for a year. Also for temporary duty trips as a medic in support of combat units. It hasn't been easy for her but her knowledge of military life and the support of military wives who endure the same hardships helping each other thru the hard times allowed her to overcome the negatives. God has blessed me and I thank him for allowing me to be part of her life as she is a part of mine.

CPT (Join to see) - "some other diety" doesn't preclude including God/religion in your marriage, as long as you are both respectful of one another... if you aren't you shouldn't be married anyway. And of course, if one of you is religious and the other is the kind of person who can't keep themselves from belittling or downplaying others' faith whenever they mention God...
For instance, I am a Jew, my wife was raised Buddhist. Neither of us are fanatics (but then Jews don't proselytize and Buddhists tend towards the "all paths lead..." type philosophy.
