Well Rich,

The US says that 1/2 of all marriages end in divorce. Probably true for EMS

marriages. WHY?? Let's see, first your wife can't see you sleeping platonically

with another woman 2-3 times a week, then you stop sleeping platonically with

that woman 2-3 times a week. Sound familiar? I don't know that there's any

hard data on it, but this would be my guess.

It is going to vary according to geographical location, company call volume,

length of marriage, etc and whether both spouses are in the medical field.

Ok - time to access the vast unpaid research department of Texas EMS. I have

googled every variation that I can come up with. I am attempting to locate info

on regards to the EMS divorce rate, and may be why. Also I have found several

references to these studies the have us killing ourselves off at much higher

rates than the general public.

Thanks in advance

I disagree, while this is a very stressful profession and appears to be hard

on marriages, I believe a lot of it has to do with what kind of marriage you

have to start off with! How dedicated and committed to your spouse are you?

Do you hold true to vows you took?

Granted there is plenty of temptation and opportunity in this world we call

EMS, but it is also there everywhere! For 13 years I have worked at least

every 3rd day, sometimes more often, while my marriage has had it's ups and

downs, 10 years later, we are still together and still committed to each

other. We are not a minority, plenty others are doing the same.

I don't really see where what the spouse does for a living makes it either

way. There are just as many with spouses that are in the medical field that

split as stay together and vice versa.

One truth I will give to you that my wife continues to preach.

If it can happend.... it will..... while I'm on duty!!!!

The reason I say it matters if the spouse is in the medical field is because

I have seen very, very jealous wives/girlfriends who cannot deal with opposite

sex partners. Also because my wife is in the medical field she understands the

long hours/days. many other non-medical spouses cannot. And it can go both ways.

Time apart can hurt or help marriages. I think in mine it helps. And you are

right about the type of marriage you start off with.
