The Perfect Pastor’s Wife

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a book entitled How to Be a Perfect Pastor’s Wife?  We could read and reread the chapters….. and POOF – out pops a perfect pastor’s wife!

But what would an ideal pastor’s wife look like?  There is no official job description. The Bible lists qualifications for deacon’s wives and older women. We get no instructions. It’s not a paid position….or at least mine isn’t! It comes with expectations. Every member has a different idea of how we should act, look and what areas we should serve in.

You may say, I didn't know he was going to be a pastor when I married him!

Some of us knew we were marrying a man called into ministry, but many do not. 

It’s like this...I've been a pastor’s wife for almost 40 years, I have found that the best person for me to be is ME! People like it when you feel comfortable being yourself!

The title says it all….”Pastor’s Wife”...that requires you to be the pastor’s WIFE!

It doesn't require:

Piano playing

Singing

Nursery Director Resume

Christian School Teaching Degree

Bachelor Degree in Theology

….no! It means you can be the best wife to your husband that you can possibly be!

Because we are in the ministry...I believe we should give it our best!

Be friendly.

Approachable.

Down to Earth.

Fun.

Caring.

Compassionate.

Available.

You may wish you were just like Pastor So n SO’s wife…..YOU”RE not! YOU ARE YOU!

Expectations are like girdles...hopefully they were discarded years ago!

 

 
Have a super day!
