May 10 is Military Spouse Appreciation Day. So, this month, MilSpouse Money Mission™ is honoring military spouses for their service and sacrifice at home with the top 10 reasons to love and appreciate military spouses.
Military spouses keep their families moving in the right direction.
On average, military families move every two to three years. Military spouses play a pivotal role in these PCS moves. They help their families start over, get settled and integrated into new communities.
Military spouses make fantastic friends.
From duty station to duty station, over and over again, military spouses make lifelong friendships. These friendships create the tribes that help sustain military spouses through long deployments and separations from their Service members and extended families. But just as quickly as they make friends, they must say “see you later,” and start over when they move. Still, this tribe is one of the best parts of military life.
Military spouses are amazing multitaskers.
With their Service members away due to frequent deployments and trainings, military spouses are often the main caregivers to their children. MilSpouses juggle it all — children, homes, jobs and finances.
Military spouses fight for quality and continuity in their children’s lives.
Throughout all the moves, military spouses are fearless advocates for their children’s health care and education.
Military spouses are movers and shakers.
Military spouses are speaking up on important issues that matter to military families, like housing and quality health care. You only need to tune into the recent news to see the progress that’s being made on a wide range of issues, such as privatized military housing!
Military spouses make smart money moves for their family.
With their Service members on the go, military spouses are often the chief financial officers within their homes, managing their family finances. They budget, insure their families, and manage savings.
Military spouses are successfully building careers around the military.
Military spouses start and stop jobs they love and find new opportunities wherever they go. Many military spouses have embraced entrepreneurship and telecommuting opportunities to bring their jobs with them.
Military spouses are certified professionals!
While the Department of Defense has worked to make it easier for military spouses to transfer their professional licenses from state to state, this may still be a challenge for some. Military spouses spend time and money to obtain the appropriate licenses and certifications after they PCS to continue their careers.
Military spouses answer the call, too.
Military spouses are leaders in their communities. Time and time again, they actively participate in or lead family groups, mentor other spouses, and support their communities wherever the need arises.
Military spouses help lead their families to stronger financial futures.
Military spouses know the importance of financial health and strive to make good financial decisions today for a healthy financial tomorrow.
Military spouses are leaders in their communities, families and personal/professional lives, answering the call to serve alongside their military members. While it isn’t always an easy life, it certainly is a full, rewarding life. Give a hug to a military spouse today!

I was most moved by #2, “Military spouses answer the call, too.” Many thanks to all the male and female MilSpouses who play such a large role in protecting our country.
