Definition
军嫂 is a respectful term in Chinese for the wife of a military serviceman. It carries strong cultural and emotional weight — it emphasizes the sacrifice, loyalty, and quiet dedication of these women who support their husbands' service. The term is commonly used in media, official discourse, and everyday conversation to honor their role, much like the English 'military spouse' but with a distinctly admiring connotation.
