Keeping Your Relationship Strong

Relationships take effort and attention, and that’s especially true of military relationships when frequent moves, long separations and additional stress are parts of the equation. But it’s worth the effort. A loving, resilient marriage is a source of personal happiness and family joy, and a solid relationship also lets service members focus on their mission and daily duty requirements.

Simply talking and listening to your spouse is so important to a healthy relationship. Sharing feelings isn’t always easy, but it is the foundation for lasting love.

No relationship is perfect. When conflict does arise, help is available to get you through. Confidential counseling is available no matter where you are.

Each service branch offers programs to help couples strengthen and enrich their relationship.
