In the NT I see this as the most powerful witness of the gospel, husbands and wives who worked together in the mission and ministry fields. I believe if we had more of this our communities would change for better in just a matter of years.

PRAISE THE LORD YOUR DISCUSSION IS A GOOD ONE FOR, ME AND MY WIFE IT WAS VERY HARD BECAUSE SOON AS WE GOT MARRIED WE WENT INTO MINISTRY PASTORING A CHURCH AND WE NEVER REALLY HAD TIME TO GET TO NO EACH OTHER TILL THIS YEAR 8 YEARS LATER SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A BOND WITH ONE ANOTHER AND HAVING A BALANCE OF God family and church work.

I guess we can say you are speaking for m experience and we appreciate your comment. It is important that we know not all couples will work together in ministry and that those couples should as you stated work to have a balance. In marriage and ministry...."Wisdom is the principal thing". Thanks for sharing.

This is a delicate subject matter because not all ministerial calls work the same way. I often tell people during ordination that their current marital status could possibly be a <i>condition of the Call</i>. If you were single when you accepted God's call, you should definately have divine approval before committing to a spouse in marriage. And if you were married when God called you, you just ought to check in with him concerning the validity of your call if - God-forbid - that marriage falls…
This is a delicate subject matter because not all ministerial calls work the same way. I often tell people during ordination that their current marital status could possibly be a <i>condition of the Call</i>. If you were single when you accepted God's call, you should definately have divine approval before committing to a spouse in marriage. And if you were married when God called you, you just ought to check in with him concerning the validity of your call if - God-forbid - that marriage falls apart.<br />
<br />
Beyond that, there are couples who click well for ministry and add greater spiritual impact through their united inclination to their mandate to minister. But there are also couples where one spouse has not signed on for ministry and wants the right to a reasonable relationship with their ministering partner. The person who has not signed on should not be treated as though they are hindering the ministry. In fact, to try and force them to wear a public face is to sacrifice marriage on the altar of ministry.<br />
<br />
Even still, the minister needs to be strong in his/her resolve to serve God. However, they also need to be strong in their resolve to ensure their spouse all the comfort, security, love and support that is an inelianable right of marriage. I guess its rightfully requires "Balance."<br />
<br />
It wasn't my ministry that cost me a marriage, rather it was my foolishness to think that ministry had to be my first love; and having my spouse feel like a barren woman trying to compete with a fruitful ministry. If it wasn't for the magnanimous love of God, I don't know how I would recover from such an experience.<br />
<br />
Thanks for offering this discussion.<br />

The benefits of spouses in ministry together is the ability to grow in the word around the atmosphere of many brethren. There can a disadvantage. The both of you may be so wraped up in ministry, that you both would probably not have enough time for family, and each other.<br />
<br />
The bible doesnt really say that, but you can get this conclusion from it. An overseer must manage his family first, then his ministry. If his family isnt in order, then how can he manage God's Church? So, his household must…

I must say "God did it" for you!!! I'm sure it was overwhelming at first but I am sure that things calmed down after a while. I am glad that God is blessing your marriage and your ministry in such an awesome way. Sometimes we don't understand what God is doing, but I have found it best to just flow with God and it will be worth the trip.<br />
