A Sustainable Police Wife Course
Here’s what’s going on with you:
· I’ve told my husband, “You’re never home.” I feel like he’s always at work, court, a training, or working out. I don’t know when he will be home again. I am frustrated at my husband’s job. He loves it, but I can’t stand the hours. I feel like he’s married to the job. He’s missing out on so much.
· I feel like I can’t really live my life fully because of his schedule. I feel torn between making plans without him or just waiting for what seems like forever for him to be home again so we can do things together. I am feeling all alone in this life as a police wife and/or mom.
· My to-do list just keeps stacking up, because of all the overtime my spouse is working, and I don’t know when my husband will be home to help. He’s managing to work out, but I don’t ever seem to have time to work out or do things that I want to do.
· I feel icky towards my husband even when he is home. We are two passing ships in the night.
Here’s what’s REALLY causing these challenges:
· Your family life as a couple and/or with children has not designed to meet the unique demands of police family life.
· Because your life has not been designed to meet the unique demands of police family life, you feel an unnecessary amount of pressure to hold almost all the household and childcare responsibilities. Too much has fallen on your shoulders.
· You have been stuck in this funk of frustration, resentment, loneliness, and/or overwhelm for a bit and the way you and your husband interact with one another is overall negative or neutral.
Here’s how Honu: a Police Wife Course can help you overcome this:
I have been in your shoes. My husband, Rick, and I have been married now for 11 years. I would describe our relationship today as strong and peaceful overall. In our early years, when we had our first son Maverick and Rick was working a ton of overtime in gang unit as a Los Angeles police officer, I struggled with resentment, overwhelm, frustration, and loneliness. I was able to get out of that funk but doing the following things, which I teach you about in this course.
You will create a peaceful, strong, sustainable police marriage by:
Creating sustainable self-care routines for you and your family.
Asking for and obtaining help to maintain peace.
Establishing independence routines that work for you and your family.
Increasing your gratitude and pride in your role.
Creating sustainable communication and date routines to enhance your relationship.
Building a supportive tribe you can depend on.

In this six-video course you will transform feelings of frustration and isolation into peace and connection. The course includes:
· 6 Lessons: Six 10-minute videos, totaling about one hour of video content. Unlimited replays allowed. Lifetime access. (Four new lessons will be posted November 1st)

Self Care as Free as Washer Bullets
Doing this within the next week will take you less than 15 minutes, is as free as dirty tupperware you find like a gift in the sink or bullets in the washer, and will leave you thinking...
Wow. I didn’t have a meltdown on the kitchen floor this week when my husband got that mandatory, unexpected overtime call, I can’t see bags under my eyes anymore, and I felt zero resentment when my officer wanted to workout on his day off. Like, am I one of those veteran police wives now or what?!

Lesson 4: Independence
Even though we have very capable spouses who would love to be there for us, their job can sometimes prevent them from being there for us. We police wives need to design our lives to be independent regardless of overtime or unexpected shift changes.

Lesson 5: Intimacy
Intimacy is unique with shift work schedules. We must purposely be conscious of connecting intimately with our partners unlike other non-police couples.
