Close up on her face\u003cbr/\u003eYoga, massage and meditation are not normally associated with the US Military, \u003cbr/\u003eBut a unique programme is helping to emotionally reunite Marines and Naval personal with their wives. \u003cbr/\u003eCouples separated by war often find that after a homecoming there is an emotional distance between them, and soldiers sometimes find it difficult to share their experiences of conflict with their loved ones. \u003cbr/\u003eDays before his first wedding anniversary, Marine Lance Cpl. Daniel Patrick was planning a getaway of a different kind. \u003cbr/\u003eReading a description of a couples' retreat with a sceptic's eye, he wondered what good would massage therapy and yoga do for a marriage strained by a war that had destroyed his hand, injured his brain and left him post-traumatic stress disorder? \u003cbr/\u003ePatrick, wounded in Fallujah, Iraq, in November 2006, knew he and his wife were having problems. \u003cbr/\u003eHe had alienated her. \u003cbr/\u003eHe refused to talk about what he saw and experienced overseas. \u003cbr/\u003eSometimes he yelled at her. \u003cbr/\u003eDetermined to make a go of their marriage, the Patricks marked their recent one-year anniversary with 12 other couples, mostly wounded Marines and their spouses from Camp Pendleton, at a pilot programme sponsored by the Marine Corps. \u003cbr/\u003eDaniel says he does not want to burden his wife with his combat experiences. \u003cbr/\u003eSamantha says that she can't understand what it must be like. \u003cbr/\u003eDaniel says that he needs help to deal with his anger. \u003cbr/\u003eRecognising that couples like the Patricks are struggling, from longer, multiple deployments to those returning wounded, the military created a first-of-its-kind \"Warrior Couple Readjustment Retreat\" for Marines, soldiers and sailors that takes a decidedly un-military like approach to save marriages. \u003cbr/\u003eThe programme combines massage therapy, yoga and meditation with classes in communication for couples. \u003cbr/\u003eSitting in a conference room at a Los Angeles-area hotel, far removed from their daily lives at the base, Navy Corpsmen Aaron Seibert,  and his wife, listen to a therapist encourage the couples to open up to one another before their frustrations explode. \u003cbr/\u003eThe couples discuss the emotional distance that military duty, the war, and, in some cases, combat injuries, have put between them. \u003cbr/\u003eAaron says that being injured takes a lot of readjustment. \u003cbr/\u003eNavy Chaplain, Dwight Horn, came up with the idea after returning from Fallujah, where he witnessed some of the fiercest fighting in the war.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says that he realised that a lot of issues also needed to be addressed at home. \u003cbr/\u003eDwight  admits to having trouble readjusting to life with his wife after returning from Iraq. \u003cbr/\u003eThere hasn't been a dramatic jump in the divorce rate in the armed services, however.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to statistics released by the Pentagon last year, the rate held steady at 3.3 percent. But the numbers do not reveal marriages in trouble.\u003cbr/\u003eDwight says he hopes to help military personnel and their families heal emotional wounds and strengthen their relationships. \u003cbr/\u003eThe programme's emphasis is on mental and physical wellness - designed to help marriages survive the pains of war.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
