Every military spouse story is riddled with moments of reaching the end of yourself; finding your limits of strength, patience, and even willingness to (yet again) bend to the mission-first mentality of military life. When finally asking, "What did we sign up for?", Mission Ready Marriage is the handbook for how wives can learn to view each moment as an opportunity to invite Jesus into their circumstances. Whether you are a brand new military wife wondering how to balance it all or a seasoned spouse burdened with weariness, Mission-Ready Marriage points to scripture, offers relevant resources, and even shares practical tips for how God is in the business of renewing hearts, restoring marriages, and most importantly, walking with us through it all.

As a pastor in a military community, I witness firsthand the unique challenges military families face. Mission-Ready Marriage addresses these challenges from a biblical perspective, and its wise and experiential counsel can revolutionize the perspective of military wives. It empowers them to recognize that they are not only military wives but also individuals on mission from the greatest "Commander-in-Chief," serving their country and, most importantly, the Kingdom of God.
