Married
When Joseph was back in town, the two got married and settled down together. They were even able to buy a house right in their home town and it really looked like things were going well. But they both knew that Joseph’s job was going to take a toll on their marriage.
It was like the big elephant in the room and being married to a soldier was not the easiest thing in the world to do. Maria often thought about their future together and that this could not go on. Something was going to have to change and they needed to have a conversation.
