And because of that, we are thrilled you are about to start the “You’re Leaving, Again?” journey with us. Over the last 13 years we have survived not only that first deployment, but additional deployments, trainings, and temporary duty assignments. Unexpectedly, we even experienced a rare role reversal when I, as a military spouse, was invited to visit overseas deployment locations. Since then, we have devoted our entire life and careers to our passion of encouraging military marriages. We are convinced that each of us can bring meaning and purpose out of the difficulty of this lifestyle. So when the USO offered to follow us during our latest deployment, we knew we wanted to bring you something real.
“You’re Leaving, Again?” follows Matt and I over the course of a six month deployment. You will listen in as we authentically share everything from the tension before the tearful goodbye to the struggle to reintegrate on the other side. Along the way, we will touch on important topics that we believe every military marriage has questions about. We cover parenting, communication, intimacy while apart, and even how to restore your relationship after deep emotional wounding. We will also share what we decided to do during this deployment to connect and grow as a couple, all while the unexpectedness of life (and COVID-19) attempted to sabotage everything.
