Did you know…In the veteran and first responder community over 85% of marriages end in divorce.
”I decided not to quit on my husband. Ever. We will suffer together, celebrate together, trust God together, remain hopeful together, battle through this thing called PTS together, and definitely laugh together. It is said that laughter reduces pain and allows us to tolerate discomfort. I’ve experienced the benefits of laughter from having a ridiculously funny husband. God designed him that way for a reason…a reason that is so clear to me now. Courage is contagious…So will you be courageous with me?”

“The partnership with my husband is the most important thing to me. Learning how we communicate differently, the power of listening, and that understanding each other instead of driving to an absolute resolution have made such a positive impact on our relationship. We are so thankful for the changes and growth this program has allowed us to experience.”
“As a wife of a police officer, SheWillStay® has been an important part of our marriage journey, answering questions and giving clarity on how my husband thought, reacted, and saw life from behind the badge. Living with someone who sees trauma, sometimes daily, is hard to explain to those who don’t understand street life. SheWillStay® gives opportunity to learn and share with others who are in the same abnormal-normal life as we study the principles of the seven pillars."
For years my boyfriend wrestled with the demons of war. SWS made it possible for me to truly understand his thoughts, which allowed for more open discussions.
