Single Spouse Officers

Living the SSO life (SSO=Single Spouse Officer)

On www.fsaof.blogspot.com you can find a series of articles about officers married to non-officers in the Salvation Army. Glad Ljungholm is writing - "If someone had asked me five years ago what I thought of the concept of single spouse Officership I would have said it had been too long coming in the UKT. As far as I could see, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, but, it wasn’t for me. I could never have imagined marrying someone who was not a Salvation Army Officer, someone who was not 100% committed to mission and ministry within the Army. I could imagine it creating split loyalties and conflicts."
