It is not an easy path to choose, but those who have embraced it have stories to tell, lessons to impart, and confessions to make. In this article, we dive deep into the world of military wives, shedding light on their experiences, challenges, accomplishments, and the resilience that binds them together.

Life as a Military Wife: A Unique Calling

When a woman falls in love with a military man, she not only embraces him but also the call of duty that he has pledged to answer. Suddenly, her life becomes intertwined with the unpredictable rhythms of military life. Constant relocations, long separations, and the inherent risks associated with military service become an integral part of her existence.

With each relocation, military wives must adapt to new surroundings, forge new friendships, and build a home wherever they land. They are the epitome of resilience, often holding down the fort while their partners are away, managing household affairs, children's education, and their own personal aspirations. The weight of responsibility on their shoulders is immense, but they face it head-on with unwavering strength.

“This book will have you laughing so hard you cry . . . As Confessions aptly demonstrates, military spouses lead interesting lives.” —Tara E. Crooks, cofounder of Army Wife Network
 
As the wife of a Marine Corps officer, Mollie Gross learned the hard way to laugh instead of cry at what she could not control—and as she quickly discovered, nearly everything was out of her control.

A standup comedienne, Mollie explores everything about the “issued” spouse, from deployment and the stress of having a husband in a combat zone, to the realization that marriage changes when your husband returns home from war. Nothing is taboo or out-of-bounds in this funny, poignant memoir, including the “parties” military wives throw for themselves before hubby returns. (You’ll have to read the book to find out about those.) 

“Mollie Gross is the Chelsea Handler of the milspouse community. She’s unfiltered, honest, and hilarious, with an underlying message to stop whining and be proud. Think of it as heartfelt humor for the home front.” — Military Spouse magazine

“Mollie’s no-holds-barred account of what it was like during her first four years of being married to a Marine, dealing with the moves, wartime deployments, and life on the home front, will leave you laughing, crying, and shaking your head in disbelief asking, ‘Did she really just say that!?’” — Kristine Schellhaas, founder of USMC Life
