Might I draw from the PB well of wisdom?
I know that finding the right spouse is important for any believer, but as one who plans on going into the ministry (D.V.) it seems especially important. Not only will I need to find a woman who is qualified to fulfill the role of wife and mother, she will also have to be able to cope with the pressures associated with ministry. I’ve been observant enough to notice that pastor’s wives are held to a higher standard than most women in the church and are often under social stress. This brings my to my question:
What qualities should I look for in a potential wife? I not only need to know the general qualities of a good wife, but also the characteristics that would make her suited for ministry.
This is all new territory for me ( PLEASE HELP!!!). Any sound advice will be appreciated—especially from those in the ministry .
