Abstract
Deployments can be difficult for military service members and their spouses, with consequences often lasting well beyond when the service member has returned home. Feelings of uncertainty, stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression are common throughout all stages of deployment. The current study is a 10-year follow-up, which explores the relational impact of deployment and trauma in married, veteran couples and their support needs. This study identified themes including: the impact of deployment (intrapersonal effects, interpersonal effects, communication effects, and impact on the parenting relationship) and coping with deployment (common bonds, formal resources, and barriers to accessing support systems). Themes are considered during pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment stages.
