army wife
Soldier's married partner
A woman married to a soldier, especially one whose life is substantially shaped by her spouse's military service.
Army wives typically manage households through frequent relocations, deployments, and the uncertainties of military life.
The term can carry connotations of resilience and community, or sometimes dependence: She's been an army wife for fifteen years, moving every two or three.
Similar compounds exist for other branches: navy wife, military wife.
