EP108 Marriage & Leadership Lessons Learned

Listen Later

We are wrapping up this Marriage & Leadership series!  Over the past few weeks we have heard from our Armed Forces leaders as each shares their marriage stories, lessons learned and advice for #milmarriage.  This series demonstrates that caring for our military families means that we care for our military marriages, which is a priority amongst our leaders.  Lean in as we have a heart to heart to gain lessons on love, marriage and leadership with those shaping our service branches for a better tomorrow.
