Communication Tools for Military Families

Communication Tools for Military Families 
Military families encounter challenges that are unique to other families, from dealing with one parent away due to deployment to re-adapting to home life with a full house.  These - among numerous related and various other reasons - are factors which sometimes lead to the dissolution of marriages within these families.  According to Military.com, rates of divorce in military families raised significantly in recent years, growing from 2.6 percent in 2001 to 3.7 percent in 2011.  These numbers have lowered since 2012, with the rate dropping to 3.5 percent, yet the fact still stands that there are many military families dealing with divorce.  If kids are in the picture, the question of how to effectively manage parenting between two homes becomes a big question for both parents.
