Biggest challenges/opportunities facing today's Reformed pastor's wife?

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question. Moderators, if it isn't - please move it to where it should go

Ok, this is my question: What do you think are the biggest challenges and opportunities facing today's Reformed pastor's wife?

In the past, I've seen the pastor's wife through the eyes of a pastor's daughter, elder's wife and friend of a few pastor's and elder's wives in the Reformed community. I've been wanting to study more about the role of the Refomed pastor wife and would like your personal thoughts as well as books you think would be helpful.

Also, to the seminary students, do the seminary wives have any training or counselling in "what to expect" as a Reformed pastor's wife?

By asking these questions, I am not endorsing any leadership role or teaching over men. Simply wondering among different denominations, what do you think are the challenges and opportunities faced by today's Reformed pastor's wife? What do they need to know? What do Reformed congregations need in a pastor's wife? How can we in the congregation help or encourage them?
