Family. They can be one of our biggest blessings and one of our biggest stressors. Family members that don’t understand the military system can complicate your life, and sometimes the best-intentioned relative can undercut everything you are trying to build with your husband.

Your Extended Family: A Military Spouse’s Biblical Guide to Surviving Within and Without Your Family is book one in the Beyond Warrior’s Bride series.
