Start Here
Our Mission is clear and simple:
Less divorce. To create a safe, encouraging community of people to connect with and walk through the highs and lows of life - and a place to reach out and get help when your marriage or life is spinning out of control.
We aren't counselors. Please also seek counseling for many of life's curve balls. But we want to be that supportive bridge during those times of need. To use a sterile professional workplace term, we are "peer support". In real life words, we are the non-judging supportive friends you've been seeking. Our mission started with the fire service where the divorce rate is quoted as high as 75%. But since then many have asked and wished to have this kind of resource for many other professions. Medical doctors. Airline pilots. Law enforcement. Military. Business executives. Entrepreneurs. And yes, even professional athletes. If you are a not a firefighter and would like to be part of our growing communities supporting many professions and their families to a 24-7 COMMITMENT lifestyle, we'd love to hear from you. (COMING SOON!)

Wanting to Connect in a Community that Understands Your Life?
What we do here best is community.
If you've struggled to find people who understand your life, or perhaps you have connected with the fire department only to be disappointed, come here to find your new confidante, listening ear and potentially your next BFF.
Men join us in the Honor Guard. A community for men who are devoted to firefighting and their marriage.
Ladies join us in the Fire Wife Sisterhood. Open to wives, fiances and girlfriends of firefighters. (Husbands of female firefighters... there's a place for you too!)
With ladies that are involved with this group it's just a little different. They understand the ups and downs of our daily lives. Some days were doing great and then we hit bottom, really missing our Firefighters.
Have You Read the A-to-Z Guide for Fire Families?

This book covers real topics, from real fire families helping you to see that you are normal and there is a positive way through this fire life.

I'm A Seasoned Firefighter / Fire Family and LOVE this Mission. How Can I Do More?
Many find us and say 'I wish I had this when we were a young family'. If that's you, we'd love your support! Please consider ways you can step alongside and help us as a volunteer, donor or just spreading the word.
We are overwhelmed with men and women who reach out and want to serve the 24-7C Community. W-O-W! So many amazingly talented firefighters and spouses.
Please be patient with our response as we receive many emails daily while trying to maintain our day jobs, manage our families, and well, you know, juggle the fire wife life!
Here are ways you can help as a volunteer:
- Are you a writer? We love professional, consistent guest bloggers to add to our wealth of knowledge here on the site
- Do you own a business? We offer partner programs occasionally and are happy to allow the right businesses to sponsor initiatives at 24-7 COMMITMENT
- COMMITMENT Weekend Committees - for our annual marriage weekends we form various committees from our membership community. Just watch for announcements in the group 6 - 9 months prior to the event.
- Local Area Fire Wife / Family Groups Captains - Start or help with a local group in your area
- CARE Team - a special team of members of our 24-7C community to especially care for our members in many ways - be a cheerleader, send a care package, just an extra warm hello on a rough day.
I was very hesitant to sign up for the girls weekend. BUT It was a great weekend with some very special bonds formed! I was able to relax and focus on myself and forming real bonds rather than diapers, feeding, and nap time! This is going to make me a better wife and mother!
