Military service has been hard on families for as long as I can remember. Even in peace time, it's not a family friendly environment. It has gotten much better in the last 30 odd years. It's been years since I've heard anyone say, "If the [pick branch of service] wanted you to have a wife, they'd have issued you one!" But there's still a long way to go.
And of course the long deployments are stressful for those deployed and those left at home to deal without their spouses.
