Having just finished another episode of long distance with her Army husband, Corrie has so many good yet simple tips for the reintegration process. We also get into how to deal with feelings of resentment toward your military member, perspective shifts, finding the blessings amidst challenges, how "knowing what you signed up for" is no match to actually feeling what it feels like to live "what you signed up for," and so much more.
