Healthy Relationships at Home = Healthier Work Life with JD & Shelli Schulgen

The national divorce rate for married couples has been at 50% for a while. For first responders its much higher, as much as 75 percent. That’s a staggering statistic. 8 out of ten first responders you work with are likely to be in a divorce. How can that change. Well the couple I have on the show today is working on that.

JD & Shelli Schulgen have been married for almost 43 years! JD is a station Captain with the Garland Fire Department with 39 years of service. Shelli is a full-time farm wife running a small beef cattle operation outside of Dallas Texas. JD & Shelli present a Fire Fighter Family Orientation for new recruits to give them some tools to cope with the stress of fire service life. They are pouring themselves into the married couples of the Garland fire department and making a difference. What are their secrets, and how have they lasted for 43 years? Today we’ll find out. They have two sons (who are both are firefighters) and 4 grandchildren.
