Partnerships with Married to the Army

Site Mission

Proudly Supporting All Who Support Our Military

I started this website in 2003 in an effort to help other military spouses become acclimated to the Army lifestyle.

At that time, all of the sites on the web that dealt with the Army were about the soldier and recruiting. While obviously important, spouses and other family members were left to wander on their own through the Army landscape.

Over the years, thousands of military spouses and family members have reached out to me for guidance and support.

These people, even if we haven’t met, are my family. We are connected through the common bond of loving a soldier and doing anything we can to support them in their journey to serve our country.

At Married to the Army, we want to ensure no family member is left behind as their soldier strives to obtain the admirable goal of honorably serving our country.
