Embracing Peace!: How a Military Relationship can thrive post - conflict.

by Elizabeth Eager

All relationships face challenges and obstacles, but military and long distance relationships pose their own unique set of challenges; deployments and separation are an integral part of that lifestyle. But what about when that aspect of your relationship is over? Why do so many seemingly strong relationships flounder and struggle when their time in the military comes to an end. Just when things should start to get easier - so many couples struggle! Military relationships go through more challenges than many other types of relationship, and it can often become easier to face the things you know better than the things you don't. In fact, for many military relationships it can be easier to face war, and get stuck on 'survive', than it is to embrace Peace and learn to 'thrive' as a couple. After publishing Warrior Wives in 2015, Elizabeth Eager's husband was medically dis-charged from the Royal Marines, and here she uses her own unique style and language to discuss the intimate details of that experience! She shares the good, the bad, the private and the difficult in a candid and open way. Designed as an interactive tool, with journal prompts and thought-provoking quotes to help you navigate through what is often a difficult transition into ‘Civvy Street’; and find a way to Embrace Peace as a couple.

About the author

I read Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre by the time I was 10 (I couldn't understand most of it!) but it ignited a passion for the imaginary world that books can create. I followed it up with Scarlett Ribbons and a Jackie Collins novel that I cant remember the name of, before progressing onto Mills and Boon and Vladimir Nabakov... eventually in my teens discovering the beauty and erotica of Anais Nin!
This may or may not have coloured my view slightly of what to expect from a real life romance! ;-)

But hold out for your fairytale ladies - I am living mine! <3

I strive to find the extraordinary in the ordinary and the poetry in the everyday. I wear rose tinted glasses and always need a happy ending. I have way too vivid an imagination for someone who is married to the military - there's enough drama, but somehow I always find more!
The books that I read or write need to make me or readers feel good about the world and not disrupt my world view of goodies and baddies, angels and demons, heroes and villains.

I have two children who are the centre of my rapidly spinning world and a hubby who keeps me centred and sane! I also have a cat called Trisha (!) I didn't name her! xxxx
