As the pastor's wife, you should be the happiest woman in the congregation, right? You are loved by the leader of the church, and he is a model husband, a model father, and models the love of Christ both from the pulpit and at home. Or not. Studies have shown that most pastors' wives would rather be in a marriage counseling session than in church.There is no doubt that you are in one of the most challenging roles in the ministry. You are called to be cheerleader and champion, supporter and encourager, yet who is cheering and supporting you? Too often, pastors' wives are lonely and hurting, feeling that the pressures of ministry have stolen their husbands, their lives, and their dreams. To make matters worse, they often suffer silently, wondering what- by marrying the man they love -they have gotten themselves into.In these pages, Richard M. Salazar Jr. takes on these hurts and challenges with honesty and grace. With input from real pastors' wives (including his own), he offers this series of short devotionals, key Scriptures, and quotes from inspirational leaders. He addresses issues related to both daily living and more sensitive topics, such as parenting under the microscope, maintaining intimacy in marriage, and dealing with financial challenges. In the end, the goal is to help you celebrate your value, find your peace, and recover your joy.
