Several years ago, before launching Strong with Grace, I had a military spouse-focused blog for a few years.

The problem was, when I started that blog I didn’t know too many military spouse bloggers at the time. I had a passion for developing it but felt a bit out of my league with how to get it off the ground.

Somehow I found myself invited to a military blogging group. I don’t even remember how I got into it. I think someone I know invited me, but the details are blurry at this point.

All I remember Is feeling elated as I saw the amazing networking, exchanging of ideas, and genuine friendships developing in the group.

People I didn’t know shared my posts, offered help and advice, and even answered military life questions not related to blogging.

The Power Of Facebook Groups For Moms To Make New Friends Online

After that point, I was sold on the benefits of Facebook groups. That group had not only helped my business ventures, but I gained connections with amazing, inspiring military spouses I never would have met.

Many of them I still consider friends, even though I’ve never met most of them in person and I’m not focused on the military spouse niche anymore.

Facebook groups can be a huge blessing in the lives of isolated moms who don’t have many friends.

I’ve discovered that Facebook groups is one of the best sites to make friends online, especially for lonely moms.

Because when I moved to Virginia recently after starting that milspouse blog, that’s what I was: a mom with only a couple friends and a baby that kept me stuck at home much of the time.

The group proved to be a much-needed connection point and tool of growth in my life.

I know it can be strange to try to make new friends online, and you might be thinking, “but I want to make friends near me.”

I get that.

But sometimes, friends you meet online can become real-life friends. If you join groups that are fairly large, odds are there’s someone close to you.

*if you do decide to meet up in person, always take caution, tell someone that you’re going, and meet in a public place.

How To Find Good Friends In Facebook Groups

Before we jump into the list of groups, here are my tips for using a group to make new friends online.

• Join groups with which you have a similar interest, stage of life, or career aspirations. I’ve joined many groups (probably too many!). My preferred groups are mostly for military spouse, mom and parenting focused, christian- based, or blogging groups.
• Think about your interests and search for those terms in the Facebook search bar. Across the top you can filter your search down to “groups.”
• Next, look at a few groups and their “about” section. That will give you an idea if you would enjoy being in that group.
• All that’s left is to join the group and wait to be approved, if necessary. Some groups require you to respond to a few questions so they know whether you would be a good fit for the group. 

You may not know them yet, but as you interact with the group members, you can develop relationships from strangers into acquaintances, and hopefully even friends.

You may not know them yet, but as you interact with Facebook group members, you can develop relationships from strangers into acquaintances, and hopefully even friends. Here's how: #makingfriends Share on X

After you have some meaningful exchanges, you might add them as a friend or start a private conversation (if allowed by the group) to keep building your connection.

If you want more tech help on finding friends on Facebook, I give a lot more tips in this post on ways to make friends on Facebook.
