For some reason it went to the spam folder. Glad I caught it to get another pastor's wife's perspective. Thanks so much for your comment Michelle. For some reason it went to the spam folder.

If the pastor’s wife happens to share information with you about the church or her personal life, keep it to yourself. There will be temptation to share her words as “juicy news”, but you will honor her by remaining silent. I'd have to say that for me, this is pretty important. I'm not fragile, nor are any of the other pastor's wives on staff at GCC, but no matter what we do, how we act, etc, our words and actions are already magnified by a thousand. If I say something to a friend, I need to trust that it will stay there. I can honestly say that I can count on one hand the number of friends that I have like that....outside of the other Pastor's wives on staff. •Never repeat what she says.

Definitely agree with the majority of your thoughts on this. I think the best way really to honor any pastor's wife is to remember that they are loved by God first... then by their husband. Also that each couple/family are not the same in how they approach things. I could go on.. seriously could write a book on this.. but I'm in the middle of making a cake for a baby shower tonight that I'm a hostess of at a church I've never even been to. That's a prime example of what I mean. Thanks again for your thoughts on this.. and for how it also shows your love for your own wife. You and Cheryl have been prayed for! Praying for all who comment and/or read. I am a pastor's wife. Definitely agree with the majority of your thoughts on this.

You always have a smile and a sweet manner when dealing with people. I know from being pastor's wife for 30+ years how thankless and demanding it can be. Yet what blessings God gives you and your family. Thanks for being so compassionate last Sunday when we had lost our Dad. esp dealing with all you and your husband are going thru. I hope we can become better acquainted, but I love you already and pray for you and the ministry at Grace. I thank God for you, Cheryl.

Only a Pastor could describe exactly how his wife, or other Pastors wives feel. You have hit the nail on the head. I struggle with all of this and more as a Pastor's wife. It can be very lonely at times. My husband was a Pastor for 25+ years before we married two years ago. While it was all old hat for him, I was stepping into a position that I had never been in before. We have been truly blessed to start our marriage in Erin United Methodist Church...what an awesome group of people that have loved me through all the transistions in the last two years. Thank you for this article....amazing! Wow! Only a Pastor could describe exactly how his wife, or other Pastors wives feel. You have hit the nail on the head.
