As in MOST wars, the returning GI's either still had a wife when he returned or he didn't (meaning she divorced him while he was absent). If they divorced upon his return, or while he was away, he started a new life. If he still had a wife when he returned, he went about re-establishing his life with his wife and maybe a soon to be family. The biggest problem with any military family is SEPARATION. If a wife can handle that, then the marriage will succeed. A GOOD PERCENTAGE of California families from WWII up until the end of the Vietnam War, was MILITARY FAMILIES. California has a current populaton of over 35,000,000 people. It one were to interview all 35 million Californians, they would find that 25 million of them are/were connected to a military family in one way or another (Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, Father, etc.). So obviously, being a military family man was successful.
