Before the deployments, before the duty stations, before the rank—there was us. This episode is all about hitting pause on the chaos of military life and hitting play on the memories of who you were before the uniform. Because sometimes, in order to move forward together, you’ve gotta look back and remember the foundation you built.

Whether you’ve been married for two years or twenty, this is your reminder that your love story didn’t start with PCS orders—it started with a spark. And that spark still matters.

✨ In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why military life can make you forget your “pre-service” love story

• How to reconnect with who you were before the military took over your schedules

• A simple challenge to help you and your spouse reminisce and reconnect
