Any advice for a military wife welcoming her husband home from iraq after 18 months, besides sex, that's known

Throw a welcome home party, invite friends and family, people from your church etc.Any advice for a military wife welcoming her husband home from iraq after 18 months, besides sex, that's known
If you have kids plan to have someone keeps them for a few days. Ask him what he wants to do and do it. The best way to find out what a person missed most besides family is to ask them. Also, be patient if things seem wierd. It is very normal.Any advice for a military wife welcoming her husband home from iraq after 18 months, besides sex, that's known
how about a beach party, oh sorry sand. um...how about just a party, not surprise tho, he's probably a little guarded and looking over his shoulder. We wouldn't want to incite a heart attack.
Spoil him! Spoil him like you've never spoiled him before. It's hell there, and you should show him Heaven.
Listen, listen,listen...and don't be too hard on him if he's a little short at first. It had to be hard on him and the thing he probably misses the most is being able to just have you there to say ';it's ok.'; Good luck and I'm glad he's coming home safe!!
be ready for alot of emotions from him he has seen and done things he never thought he would have to do try not to discuss what he did there unless he brings it up he will be on a emotional rollercoaster for a while so just try to be there for him show him the (comforts of home )again do simple things for him and just try to make him comfortable and do what he wants to do
As an ex-Marine, do NOT let people bomb him with questions about what happened, or things like that. Let him answer and talk of it on his own volition. Right when he gets home, take him to his favorite place (you drive). Let him order his favorite drink, meal, etc as he deserves it. Hell, I'd like to pay for his drink. Next invite family only to the house (remember the questions rule). Ease him back into life here. Tell him a complete stranger (me) is proud of him.
Advice on what? Mmmm. Deoends on what he has gone through over there. Maybe you need to think more about you marrigae if you can't think of the answers to that question yourself.
a quiet and relaxing evening with a real home cooked meal and lots of relaxation and pampering for him (and sex, cuz he hasn't had it in 18 months) he hasn't realxed and had a home cooked meal in along long time. do all the things he likes to do and missed doing while he was gone.
Treat him to full body massage, he would love to be rubbed down or better yet by a book and learn to do it yourself!!!
Be sure to give him his space. Stay out of his way and be there when he wants you to be. He has to get used to being home. Keep stress to a minimum and don't get the whole family, community involved right away. Let him adjust and spend some quiet, personal intimate time together without the crown and fanfare first.
I think that it is all gonna come right back to you, things are gonna just fit and you will know where he needs support and where he just wants to be alone. Good luck
CONGRATS.....mine just came home....of course there are the banners and the balloons and then you could have family and friends....make his favorite foods and have his favorite drinks ready....have someone available to take kids for a few nights if you have any.....get his favorite movies....but above all all he wants is YOU!!!!!





GOOD LUCK AND AGAIN...CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't in Iraq but served 4 years in the Army. I know that there will be places that he will want to go out to eat since he has probably been eating a lot of dehydrated foods in the past 18 months. Besides that, you are on key with the sex. Find a little cameo outfit that looks real good and revealing on you and surprise your deserving little solider. Thank him for his time served and send hate mail to President Bush in Washington D.C. for sending our loved ones there in the first place.
You should spend some time with him at home or out somewhere and let him know how much you love him and be together no matter where it is at home at dinner at your friends house do something romantic and if you have children let them be with their dad for a little bit then let them go to somebody's house or something and you guys spend time!I hope my advice works.
yes a threeway with a neighbor or your best friend.
go for journey,lets be a week or 2 on beach !!
just welcome him home with loving arms and please tell him thanks for protecting our freedom
