10 Reasons Why Military Spouses Are The Best

Military spouses are truly one of a kind. They face obstacles most husbands and wives would never even think of, and they do it with smiles on their faces. Their courage and loyalty is immeasurable, and some would argue the strength of military spouses often rivals that of their loved ones. Today, we are honoring those who take care of our men and women in uniform. Here’s 10 reasons why military spouses are incredible human beings.

1.They know the risks and dangers of loving someone who chose to serve, and they continue to do so anyways.

Being a military spouse means loving someone who would lay down his or her life for the people of America.

2. They know quality time together is often limited, so they always appreciate the little things.

Time is far too precious to spend it arguing or nagging. Tripping over combat boots in the middle of the hallway isn’t quite as annoying, because it means he/she is home.

3. Moving hundreds of miles away in an instant becomes a routine, but they always do it with a brave face.

It seems like no one can never get too comfortable because, before you know it, you’re picking up your life and relocating to the other side of the country. Military spouses understand this and join in on every journey.

4. They aren’t needy people - they don’t need anyone to take care of them, although they do appreciate it when their spouses are around and able to.

Independence is a way of life for military spouses. They never feel the need to constantly bombard their significant others with questions or demand explanations. They trust their military husbands and wives will always do what is best for the family and the country.

5. Military spouses are modern day superheroes.

Often, military spouses will have to wear multiple hats in the family dynamic. They will usually play the role of both mother and father, teacher, coach, cheerleader, driver, and best friend...and they will love every minute of it..

6. They are social and genuinely kind people, always the perfect person to have by your side.

Moving around often means regularly leaving behind the people you began to call your best friends. Luckily, military spouses “embrace the suck” and make the best of those situations. A new home means a new chance to make more friends!

7. They can be on the other side of the world, but can always make you feel right at home.

Military spouses are always “on call” meaning they’re ready to jump on the phone or on a video call at a moment’s notice. And without a doubt, whenever they’re finally connected, military spouses have a way of making all worries disappear for a bit.

8. The best care packages and letters always come from military spouses.

In the civilian world, snail mail is typically a pretty rare treat. When it comes to the military though, sometimes good ol’ fashioned ink and stamp letters are the only way to go. Military spouses are experts at putting together the greatest deliveries!

9. Forget diamonds - the best gift any military spouse could receive is some quality time with the one (s)he loves.

There aren’t too many videos online with millions of views showing a woman crying out of joy after receiving a diamond necklace. Videos of (diamond-less) military men surprising their wives with simply their presence on the other hand…

10. They know military life is tough, but they wouldn’t trade it for the world.

The best things in life never come easily, and no one knows that better than military spouses. They love their spouses and everything their spouses do, despite the difficulties involved. Military spouses will always have our service member’s backs, and for that, we are all very lucky.
