S6 E12: Communication Part 2

The USO is launching a new virtual series with Corie and Matt
Weathers on how military families can stay strong while apart.
Corie and Matt Weathers will share how they are keeping their
military marriage strong through a season apart - as well as tips
for how you can do the same.


Tools and concepts discussed during the series apply to all types
of military-initiated separations; from deployments and
trainings, to geo-bachelor tours, unaccompanied tours, and even
third shift schedules.


Communication is the top issue couples ask for help with. 
We all have different types of communication styles and often
that clashes into conflict and hurt.  On top of that, no one
teaches us how to communicate in healthy assertive ways. Instead,
we grow up with passive, passive-aggressive, or aggressive
examples to model.  Join Matt and I as we share our
challenges to communicating over the distance of a deployment and
tips for how you can make improvements in your own connection
with your spouse.
