Married After Kids

Ep. 93: Perception vs Reality of a Military Spouse


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like family and friends just don’t understand what you are going through as a military spouse? They have their own ideas and thoughts about what it's like being married to military, but how can we get them to understand and support us during difficult times?

 

This episode will help you rise above the thoughts, feelings, and perceptions of others when it comes to the military and your role as a military spouse. Listen for a huge dose of encouragement in making the best of the situation you are in, and ways you can get support now and in the future. Whatever you are feeling and experiencing is right and true. Please don’t make yourself wrong for any of it.

 

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Military 101: SGLI (Service Members Group Life Insurance)
  • Five common perceptions that family and friends have about us as military spouses 
  • How to gain support from friends, family, and your spouse when your spouse is away
  • Tips to ride the emotional rollercoaster that is the military
  • Permission to feel like you don’t need to be stronger than everyone else
  • One phrase I hear so often that is wildly unhelpful when trying to be supportive
  • Why you don’t need to completely sacrifice your life and dreams for the military and your spouse
