What Every Firefighter's Spouse Should Know

摘要

Gagliano shares many aspects of the fire service profession that every firefighter's spouse should know to keep the relationship intact. Among other things, she emphasizes that exposure to danger and trauma are two major factors that make this job different from most others. She rationalizes that the greater the demand at work, the greater the possible backlash at home, debilitating firefighters for family involvement, which, if misunderstood, may be destructive to intimate relationships. She points out that though this is certainly not the case in all instances, spouses need to know the factors that may be causing changes in behavior.
