    3.

    NEG: My husband deployed 3 weeks after our wedding and is gone for a year.

    POS: He is, hands down, the best man to love and to be loved by. (to that, a caveat.... Marry a friend. You'll never waste time trying to impress someone who already knows your full of crap, leaving you with all the time in the world to laugh with each other)
