Books That You NEED To Read As A Military Spouse!
These are some books that I have read and would highly recommend to other military families, specifically spouses and significant others
The 5 Love Languages (Military Edition) by Gary Chapman
This military edition of the 5 Love Language book was SUPER helpful in applying the information to what we will experience as military couples. It applies these topics to things like deployment, distance away, re-integrating after a deployment, and so on. I would highly recommend this read, and send a copy on deployment with your service member too! You can purchase it here.
American Wife: Love, War, Faith and Renewal by Taya Kyle
This book is written by the wife of Chris Kyle. Taya Kyle has been in our exact shoes before as military wives and provides a lot of great insight about being married to a service member. I would also recommend following her on Facebook! You can purchase the book here.
The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John M. Gotten, PH.D.
My husband and I were given this book in addition to the 5 Love Languages book at a CREDO marriage retreat that we attended through the base. I would highly recommend that both spouses read this. You can purchase it here.
