Wives of Faith is a faith-based military wives support organization that began when an active Army wife and a Navy Reservist wife who were both going through deployments met for lunch in Nashville, TN one day. They had so much fun connecting with each other and discovering shared concerns and challenges, that they thought maybe other military wives would also like meeting.
That’s when Wives of Faith was born and in December of 2006, the first get-together – an ornament exchange – was held. The women who came to that event were from different branches (Army, Air Force, Navy) and different types of service (active, National Guard and Reserve) but they all discovered some wonderful similarities, important when you often feel like you’re the “only one” who feels a certain way.
With more and more service members deploying and families living away from their military installation, spouses are seeking friendships with other women who may better understand their circumstances than civilian friends and family are sometimes able to.
Our wives have connected through small groups, events, conferences and online through Facebook and our blog. Though many women connect with us during a deployment, there are still others who stay involved because they wish to pass on support they received when they were going through the same experience.
