Associated Press reported that:
"In a historic but little-noticed change in policy, the Army is allowing scores of husband-and-wife soldiers to live and sleep together in the war zone -- a move aimed at preserving marriages, boosting morale and perhaps bolstering re-enlistment rates at a time when the military is struggling to fill its ranks five years into the fighting."

While this is not nearly as big (in terms of number of couples) an issue as military marriages face when one spouse is serving in combat and the other spouse is stateside, this is still an amazing recognition of the specific issues that military marriages face.

I would love to hear you thoughts on this and on what other steps the military can take to strengthen marriages between husbands and wives serving together.
