We are at a medium size church and still get that. My husband is on back to back trips right now-last week junior high church camp, this week senior high mission trip. He was home less than 48 hours in between. I barely had enough time to get the laundry done. The only perks I have found, left over pizza after youth events. Maybe better list of trusted babysitters. Oh, on a serious note, more adults invested in my own kids lives, we are closer to his co-workers and volunteer youth leaders than probably the working world's dad's co-workers. Oh, I could relate!

My husband and I have had the opposite reaction in our town. My advice... be at the big church in the small town. ;) God Bless! I’m glad you’re able to laugh about it!

I face some of the same issues being "just" the youth minister, plus the separation from ministry with my husband AND I am now a frumpy mom who talks about kid stuff while youth look at me like I'm a nut. My husband pastors two small churches and I work at a third which means my daughter and I rarely worship with him. We are separate most of the time. Life is messy isn't it. I'm looking for a para church ministry job closer to where my husband and I live which will allow us to worship as a family. I know that then I will face all kinds of separation trauma!

That usually changes the tune, all of the sudden the youth minister is much more important.
