Relationships
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.
Some topics include how to have thriving friendships, raise resilient kids, have a loving marriage and overcome obstacles with others and yourself. 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.

Want to know one of the things I love most about the military spouse community?
Hands down, it’s the supportive nature.
You find yourself asking…
“Where do I…?”
“When do I…?”
“How do I…?”
6 Tips for Long Distance Love
Summer in San Francisco isn’t your stereotypical steamy, sunny California summer. In fact, August here is more accurately called “Fogust.”
Needless to say, my boots get more use than any of my summer sandals and more of my pictures on Instagram than I care to admit have some type of #iliveinacloud hashtag.
