Who is patron saint of military spouses?
There is not one that I can find, but I would recommend Saint Natalia, wife of Saint Adrian of Nicomedia. He was a Roman Soldier martyred for the faith and she cared for him and other Christians awaiting martyrdom before her death, which may have been a martyrs death also.
What was the War Bride Act?
The War Brides Act (Public Law 271) was enacted in 1945 to allow spouses and adopted children of United States military personnel to enter the U.S. after World War II.[1] The law temporarily lifted the ban on Asian immigration and the quotas on European immigration that had been established by the Immigration Act of 1924. The provisions of the War Brides Act were extended and amended by the Alien Fiancées and Fiancés Act of 1946 and the Soldier Brides Acts of 1946 and 1947. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 removed race as a limiting factor in immigration, and made possible the entry of military spouses and children from South Korea after the Korean War. ~ Wikipedia

Where can one find information about life in the military?
Your local recruiter can probably give you information. There are also plenty of online forums that are made for people who just signed up for the military. There are also forums for spouses and parents of military members. You can discuss and read topics from people who have been immersed in military life.
Can veterans of World War 2 collect benefits just from being in the war?
Generally no. If a veteran had a service-connected disability then he would be eligible for monthly payments. If he was killed, there was a $10,000 life insurance policy payable to whatever beneficiary the serviceman designated, or to his next of kin, if he had not designated a beneficiary. Men not killed had the right to make the payments and keep this insurance coverage after they were discharged, if they wished. The veterans also had the right to continuing medical treatment at Veteran's Administration medical facilities. For the first time in WWII veterans had some help at the time of their discharge, in the form of the "GI Bill of Rights". This legislation provided for educational assistance, which many vets used to obtain a college degree after the war. There was also a right to a one-time VA home loan, without regard to credit ratings, at a favorable interest rate. If a person stayed in the military for twenty or more years they would be eligible for military retirement payments, PX shopping privileges, and continuing VA medical care. There is no pension or other form of payments merely for being a WWII vet. The US today has Social Security retirement and disability benefits, plus Medicare and Medicaid. In earlier wars these did not exist and congress usually got around to passing a pension law for the vets and their surviving spouses, but not until they were getting old.
