Supporting Our Heroes & Their Homes
Strengthening Military Marriages Through Connection, Healing & Hope
At Creating Intimacy & Respect, Inc., we understand the unique pressures military families face. The invisible wounds of service deployments, reintegration, trauma, long separations, relocations, and high-stress environments can create emotional distance and strain even the strongest relationships.
We Understand Because We’ve Lived It
Our CEO, is a proud U.S. military veteran.
He has personally experienced the realities of service — the pressure, the distance, the transition home, and the strain military life can place on relationships. His lived experience fuels our mission and helps ensure our programs are not textbook theories, but real-world, compassionate, and practical.
Omar’s journey shapes a space where military couples can feel seen, understood, and supported — not judged or stereotyped.
Why This Work Matters
Divorce affects military families at a significantly higher rate than many civilians realize:
- The divorce rate among active-duty service members has consistently remained around 3% per year — representing thousands of marriages affected annually.
- Research shows enlisted personnel are 62% more likely to divorce than similar civilian couples when accounting for age and family circumstances.
- Deployment cycles, long separations, PTSD, and frequent relocations are major contributing factors.
Behind every statistic is a real husband, wife, family, and child navigating deep emotional impact.
