Abstract	This article is an expression of the authors' self-authorship as they explore the nature and connection between their own personal narratives and experiences in the military lifestyle, adult education theories, and higher education. The authors begin with a review of adult education literature relevant to the military spouse experience and a brief descriptive overview of military spouses and the challenges they face as a collective community of potential learners. Next, they identify several theories that may help describe this student population and why their experiences are relevant to adult educators. Finally, they discuss the reciprocal nature of the relationship between military spouses as learners and institutions of higher education. (ERIC).
