Thank you to Thin Blue Line USA for sponsoring this post. All opinions and work are my own. Showing appreciation toward law enforcement is needed now more than ever.

When my husband went into law enforcement a number of years ago I was honestly a bit naive as to what the job would be like for him and for our relationship. There is no blueprint on how to navigate being married to a police officer or what a police officer needs.
