Love & Relationships
August 11 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm CDT
Building Stronger Connections with Your Partner
Military and veteran relationships face unique challenges, from deployment and reintegration to navigating the invisible wounds of service. Finding support can feel difficult when your circle doesn't understand the reality of loving someone who has served.
This session creates a safe space for military and veteran spouses and partners to connect authentically with others who truly get it, share experiences, and openly discuss relationship dynamics. Together, we’ll explore common challenges in communication and intimacy, as well as share strategies for building a stronger, more connected relationship.
Whether you're seeking advice, encouragement, or simply a space to be heard, this session provides the community and tools you need to thrive in your relationship.
What You’ll Gain
- Identify common communication and intimacy challenges faced in military and veteran relationships
- Explore practical strategies to improve connection and strengthen your relationship
- Connect with other spouses/partners who share similar experiences and understand your journey
