My wife wants to join the Peace Corps

She would be away for two years -- twice as long as we've been married!

    Divorce First?

    The Peace Corp will not accept a woman who is married. They require both partners to enroll together. My friend just left for Tanzania this morning for a two year stint in the Peace Corp and she had to go through tons and tons of paperwork explaining that she wasn't really all that attached to her boyfriend and that she wouldn't leave early to come home to him. They put a lot of money and time into each volunteer and are very strict about who they'll let go. Wives without husbands, absolutely not.
