I don't practice Yoga, but I respect those who do. Flexibility is the first thing I think of when I think of the practice and Strength is a close second.
This journey as a civilian male military spouse requires flexibility. I heard someone say that, "If you can't be flexible, you will be irritable." I agree, and I have encountered many military spouses who resembled that remark.
You can (and should) plan for everything. Just be willing to improvise.
When I meet a military couple that has completed the military life journey, I recognize and respect the flexibility and strength they demonstrated to make it through to the end.
What's your best tip for a new civilian male military spouse? Let's chat in the comments!
Grace and Peace!
