Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine how wives of Army National Guard veterans maintained a successful, thriving, and resilient marriage when faced with deployment and reintegration. Heterosexual married female wives of Army National Guard veterans in the Midwest were the target population. When faced with deployment, wives of Army National Guard veterans positively experienced their roles as the domestic support system by gaining strength, resilience, empowerment, growth, adaptation, and emotional resilience. When faced with reintegration, wives of Army National Guard soldiers positively experienced their roles as the domestic support system by transforming, growing, and having personal and marital resilience. The wives described overcoming negative feelings regarding the deployment, learning emotional management, and accepting changes that came with their soldiers returning home. Six themes were created from the data explaining how Army National Guard wives positively navigated deployment and reintegration including: displaying strength and resilience amid deployment challenges; deployment navigation as the domestic support person through empowerment, growth, and adaptation; utilizing emotional resilience amid deployment challenges; creating transformation and growth amid reintegration challenges; resiliently navigating reintegration challenges as the domestic support person; and relationship dynamics and marital resilience amid reintegration challenges. Military families and future researchers can use these findings to understand positive ways military wives could navigate the deployment and reintegration experiences.
