I am not sure I can say it any better than FireMom said it today on her blog Stop, Drop and Blog.

If you are nervous because you are dating or planning on marrying a firefighter, then I highly suggest you read her blog post. It’s very well written and narrows our lives down as much as possible. No words minced, just lays it out there as it is. Some of us women can hack it and others are high maintenance and shouldn’t consider the fire life. It’s not easy feeling second, even though we truly KNOW we are not second. There are many times that it is the feeling.

I can’t honestly suggest anymore that anyone marries, no matter the profession. I’ve run into so few women that are ready to commit to the work that it takes to be married. But it really takes a strong woman to stay married to a firefighter and love the life as much as they do. Yes on that note I will toot my own horn. He’s been a firefighter for about 9 years now, so I think I’ve earned my right.

Oh plus it just helps that Firefighters work hard and play harder. Take the pun however you’d like
