No matter what anyone tells you, trucker relationships are challenging. Trucker wives and their trucker husbands (or the other way around), face a multitude of difficult issues.
Here are a few ideas to help trucker relationships not only survive the stresses and hardships of a trucking career but also make for a good, healthy strong relationship that lasts a lifetime.
When you are home, plan for dates with each other. Get a chance to talk and stay ‘tuned’ to each other.
They must deal with EVERYTHING that comes along, no matter what it is.
Tell your spouse that you admire and respect them for all the big and little things they do for you.
Couples should agree and make a deal, that when it comes to important things, their relationship always comes first.
If either has difficulty expressing their feelings during a phone chat, that’s ok. Practice! Work on it and it will get easier with time.
