There are two halves to a happy marriage, but in the military, only one half gets a lot of the recognition. Although it is definitely warranted for us to honor and recognize those who serve the country, Jamie Muskopf has made it her mission to pay homage to those brilliant and ambitious military spouses who dream or entrepreneurship.

We ran households filled with the laughter and insanity of small children while our spouses were away. This “gap” we worried about was a time of learning, developing new skills, literally growing our endurance and resilien...
