Yes, but it requires a lot of effort. Military service is a very different type of life and culture, which is why returning to civilian life is known to be difficult for those who thrived in active service. The couple can adapt together by thinking of this as a journey into a new, foreign land with its own language and practices, and keeping an open and curious mind. You two should keep an ongoing conversation of the things you learn about serving and living on base. The partner can make friends with the other spouses and partners on the base. This approach will keep you two bonded rather than growing apart.
