There are countless relationships to balance in this milspouse life. Our kids, friends, neighbors, spouses coworkers, and of course, our service members!
Relationships need communication, compromise, and the ability to adapt. Command Team has decades worth of experience navigating these situations and share their professional and personal knowledge on various relationship topics.

We want you to thrive in relationships because, in this milspouse life, we need support and community. So, join our Mission: Milspouse community and learn how to better relate to yours on this page.

Learn from the butterflies – let them struggle a little
Another move, another set of challenges. I think we would all agree that one of the largest challenges parents can experience is watching your child struggle.
When Friends Circle Back Around
I love how when you are in the military long enough, friends from past duty stations start circling back around to you. Though I’m not an avid social media user, I am thankful to have it. At times, it’s the only way I’ve discovered where old military friends land again. And sometimes they land with me…or near me….or I travel near them…or some interesting situation brings us back together.
PTSD Awareness: Supporting Our Heroes on the Home Front
When the brave men and women of our Armed Forces take the oath to defend our freedoms, they are committing their minds and bodies to protect our nation at all costs. For over eight million service members and veterans, the effects of war and service have led to PTSD, putting strains on their relationships, careers, and overall well-being. Understanding this impact on our military community and their families, Hope For The Warriors works each and every day to provide resources, programs, and services dedicated to improving the quality-of-life for all those with PTSD.
You Sacrifice Too
I remember the first time a kind woman came up to my husband in uniform and thanked him for his service and sacrifice, and then turned to thank me too. We were in our second year of marriage, and I hadn’t yet heard that from a stranger. I was caught off guard – – taken aback that someone would turn to recognize me, just a normal woman standing by her serviceman’s side. I felt very undeserving.
I wasn’t the one in uniform.
I wasn’t the one sacrificing.
I wasn’t the one serving.
