From a Pastor's Wife's Perspective

By Bertha Hall

You are not paranoid! Women have been given special insight to recognize when something is not quite right. Sometimes we have to stand up and protect those whom we love in our relationships. Lasting relationships depend on divine help to be encouraging and provide depth. God is not only protecting relationships, but he also helps us to survive difficult circumstances.

CHAPTER 1

The Early Years

When I was younger, I dreamed about getting married, but I never knew that I would marry a Pastor. Being a Pastor’s wife brings about an abundance of various experiences. It is not always easy being a Pastor’s wife, but it can be rewarding. Truly, I have learned that my prayer life has increased. One of the things that my husband and I discussed before we got married was that we would pray together. Our prayer life would not be only for ourselves individually, but for each other.
