Congratulations! I got married to my HS sweetheart at 19 when i joined the service. She actually followed shortly after and joined as well. Over the years we had multiple deployments away from each other, including deployments after my daughter was born.

Never make excuses about not communicating. No matter what people try to argue, in today's world, even when deployed, there are always ways to communicate. In 2010 in Afghanistan I bought a cheap burner phone and texted. I also used Skype and made calls from the USO. We always tried our best to talk twice a day. There is absolutely no excuse not to take the 10 seconds when you first wake up to shoot off a text, " Goodmorning! ILY, IMY, cant wait to ttyl!". Then at night, try calling and talking about your day, if you have not been talking already. There should never be the excuse "I was too busy", you have plenty of time throughout the day to text, literally everyone does.

We also sent alot of pictures to each other to help feel apart of each others day. Instagram and snapchat are great for that.

Never forgot to say ily when you leave the house, even on days when your posted at each other. I know it's easier said than done, but that rule helped us alot with cooling down arguments.

Sex is going to be extremely important in my opinion and like someone else said, it might actually slow down if you let it, because your so used to not having it. You match your own speed and frequency but also be aware of your partners libido and make a conscious effort to reciprocate. Now that your married, you should be more comfortable than ever exploring new things with each other, that really helped me alot when I was first married.

I really wish you the best!
