[…]and not hear the thirteenth chapter read as part of the ceremony.

[…]everything is just fine! What explains the difference between these two experiences? Does Wendy love her husband more than Sally loves hers? Is Sally luckier? Or could it be that there is a basic difference in their attitudes? Separations are an inescapable part of service life. No one looks forward to them, but basically separations are what you make them! Your attitude is the all-important key. If you anticipate that everything will go wrong, it will.
