I have a question for all of you and would love to hear what you married to youth pastor people think.

Do you ever feel like you should not have to be involved in every aspect of church life/ministry just because your spouse happens to be the youth pastor?

Many people support their spouse’s career without having direct involvement with every detail of their job. I love what we do in ministry and am not burnt-out. Sometimes I have a hard time saying no.

How do you handle saying no to things without seeming stand-offish or distant? Do you ever feel guilty because you want to say no to church activities?

Thanks for any feedback you can give me. God Bless you all!

So, I know we pretty well covered this last spring, but summer is coming again. I sat down with my husband last night to look over the next three months. I cried. This is our 10th summer. Shouldn’t I have this down by now?

Today I called one of our favorite babysitters and asked her to set aside a few days in June. That felt a little better.

Anyone have a few fresh ideas for surviving the May to August insanity?
