Being in love with someone requires sacrifice from both partys. We all know this..... In our case it will go like this...........
From Muse:
To open up her life, and home....... and want to make it "our home" .........
something that is all hers, her life and security, yet she wants to make it all "ours"......
That is trust and love.........
From Dog.......
To feel so strongly about someone, that he will quit his job of 15 years, sell everything he owns, go to her, and start a new life and job, in a strange world where nothing is familiar, leaving behind all he has known and worked for, and leave his kids.............
Many claim to be in love......... how many are really willing to "step up to the plate?"
are you?

That is love 
Nobody should be rock solid unwilling to budge for someone they meet and fall for.
Who may have to move should depend on what is stood to be lost.
In the end-both are winners!

While I don't claim to be "in love", if it does happen I am willing to do what it takes.
I would quit the job I've had for many years, sell my home, uproot my boy, and move to be with him if that's what it takes.

I moved to the icebox so I may one day support myself, fiancee, and her boy.
She's willing to move oout of mom's house to live with me.
The boy wants to call me "dad" since her has none.

for many years i have used the opening line " I seek a pearl of great price". with such a statement by me i would vainly say that i am willing to do whatever is necessary to aquire such a pearl. but, your question is not about the pearl i seek, yea rather the question is about the love that should accompany the pearl. would i forsake the most precious of pearls in return for only love? would the woman who stands before me forsake the most precious of pearls for my love? that is the crux of all relationships. we set boundaries, we set demands, we set "me, me, me" first. to answer my earlier question, no i do not think i could give up my quest for my pearl of great price simply for a love that just might not endure. which reminds me of another oft used line of mine! "i shall not endure another woman who does not posess the pearl i seek". LOL we be jammin

Shares an old quote with UAB, that was shared with me, when I adopted my oldest kids...... I have kept it with me now for 26 years........
"Anyone can be a father, It takes a special man, to be a dad! "
Make him a part of you..... you will never regret it!

... .and leave his kids.............
Many claim to be in love......... how many are really willing to "step up to the plate?" has children: Yes
how many: Four or more
about my children:
They are my world, and the true testimony, of the person I am. There is no daddy alive, who could love his children, or be more proud of them , than I am, of mine!
imho...something is out of wack here...
to answer the OP's question...

They would have to find me first, and they have to have ID's to get on the base, and even more to get to where I work.. and I never answer the door at home..

....Personally, I think there is a time in our life, that love has nothing to do with it, but rather our responsibilities at that very moment.
....With children, until they are grown, there are many circumstances that prevent one from moving across the state, or even the world. And what about the old folks that depend on us, with the alternative being a nursing home? And some will have occupations, or self employment that with the responsibility of providing and not a ready replacement, to definitely consider.
...Prior responsibilities may or may not effect everyone, but for some, they are a definite restriction on personal wants and needs, personal happiness, that may or may not be able to be addressed.
....In a perfect world and to myself, it is where she and he both move to a neutral location; not his, not hers and where they begin a life on neutral ground as their own. In 20 years or so, they will look back and say or think "this is ours and we built this together."
...Is this not what most of us did the first time when young?
====
....As with the OP, his kids are probably grown and depending on the occupation, some can find a job anyplace.
...Neither the responsibilities, nor the circumstances are the same for everyone and although I am very happy for both of them, not everyone is in this same position, this same place in life to actually have this freedom to do so; not without the abandonment of their word, their responsibilities.
...Beyond love, it must feel liberating... almost an adventure to start new and maybe, just maybe that is where the Fountain of Youth resides.
....Good luck Dog.

When it all comes down to it..the "proof is in the pudding" so to speak.....saying it can be a lot easier then actually carrying through the plan.. espeically when you throw in circumstances and little unexpected jolts along the way....but for myself.. I did what was necessary for love and here I am three years later still happy with the choice I made 
My fondest wish is that this works for you and your Muse, Doggy.....Lord knows it's time for you to get what you deserve...in a wonderful way of course

We all have responsibilities attached to where we live, but some have less than others and some have thought out what to do about those responsibilities.
In my case, I have a very portable career and can get a job anywhere I go...especially with my experience.
I have an older child who is married with a family of his own who is not dependent on me. Sure, if I moved, I wouldn't see him often, but there are phone calls, internet, vacations......
I have one parents who is only 69 and very active. She and my sister already have pans to move in together, so that takes care of that.
My younger child is young enough to be adaptable.
I own my home, but the housing market is still good in Oklahoma, so that's not a problem. If it were, renting it out might work.
I guess what I'm saying is that my heart is open and I'm ready for all possibiities if love should come my way.

Mom...would you really relocate your youngest? What grade is he in? Does he have a lot of friends at his school? These are all important when it comes to relocating.
