Challenges of the Firefighter Marriage
Marriage can either be a passionate, intimate love affair that lasts a lifetime or a toxic, contentious experience that ends in utter heartbreak. Add in the unique challenges presented by the rough and tumble world of the fire service, and making it work can be tough. In this class, we will share our experiences of 40-plus years of being married, being in the fire service, and making both worlds work. This is an honest and direct look at what is happening to firefighter marriages and why. We'll examine what makes this profession different and how those differences can impact your relationship. Our hope is to share the goods and the bads of our journey and give you insight into adapting some of those lessons to your own home life. We believe you can have an awesome career in the fire service without losing your marriage or family.
