You've come a long way, pastor's wife!
While being the wife of a pastor may bring its stresses and strains, it's easier to fill this role now than it has ever been before.
Shepherdess International goes worldwide
The purpose of the Shepherdess organization is to provide ministers' spouses opportunities for spiritual growth, to train ministers' wives as paraprofessionals in team ministry with their husbands, to help the wives understand their role, to improve home relationships, and to provide fellowship and support.
The role of the minister's wife
Attaching a specific role to a minister's wife these days is like tying a tin can to a dog's tail. It causes considerable discomfort, frustration, and howling on the part of the recipient.
