There are two married couples in my group and several people who are married but joined the Peace Corps without their spouse. In speaking to married volunteers, many have stated that Peace Corps makes an effort to keep couples together at site so that the couples can work in their community together. To me, it sounds like a great adventure, but also one that can test a marriage. I asked one couple about this (Pat and Donna) who have been married for 35 years and they told me that they have known each other long enough to know what pushes their buttons and how to deal with stressful marital situations. I have no doubt that they will be fine and enjoy their time here. Best of luck to them!!
During the Water Safety Training, I took several photos of them walking down the beach holding hands. It was a very cute scene and I wanted to capture the moment. I managed to get a few decent shots and thought that they might make a great Peace Corps marketing strategy:
Peace Corps: Explore with world with your spouse.
