The number of active duty military women with families continues to increase, creating a unique phenomenon where husbands are left behind during deployment to manage children and spousal relationships while redefining gender roles. Research on this phenomenon is limited. Building on theories of gender role strain and relational maintenance, transcendental phenomenology was used to explore experiences of 12 civilian male spouses who were recruited through advertisements in military-affiliated newspapers posted on 6 military bases. Rubin and Rubin's approach was used to interview the men, and an affinity diagram was then used to facilitate open coding of the data. NVivo10 (c) aided in discovering connections among codes, patterns of repeated words and phrases, and the development of themes. Epoche, member checking, reflective journaling, and an observational log were used to help avoid bias. Results revealed male spouses lacked support for and recognition of their changing roles in supporting their wives. They continued to act stereotypically with respect to not seeking help and were treated stereotypically by others. Positive experiences included deeper relationships with their children and learning to support their wives through commitment and deliberate communications. These findings underscore the importance of military-sponsored supportive programs, ones designed specifically for men, to foster healthy marital relationships and avoid devaluing their masculinity while they continue to support their wives.
