Special Message by Guest Editor-In-Chief DR. BARBARA NEELY

The bond of military spouses is like no other. There is always someone ready and willing to help you adjust and settle into your new duty station, bring you and your family a hot meal, run errands for you when caring for a new baby, or dry your tears when the going gets tough.

Military spouses are some of the toughest spouses I know, and truly the glue that holds the military together. They become a strong backbone, so our soldiers can be front and center.

In this special edition, I am excited to share the stories of a few military spouses and their experiences as a spouse.

Prepare your hearts as we cover a few of the many topics not talked about amongst the military community, such as the mental health of spouses, handling financial issues, transitioning, friendships and divorce.

Sincerely,

Dr. Barbara Neely Guest Editor–in–Chief
