Retirement affects the family, especially the spouse.
It is interesting that assuming the role of pastor is seen as a family decision, but retiring from the church is not. What is the spouse’s next? Where does the spouse worship? Who is now the spouse’s pastor?
Love you Pastor and Aunt Donna. This was an excellent read. ✨
This is so good!
You know I got permission to post!!!
LOL!
This is very good Dr. Soaries. A must read for all married pastors, male or female.
I remember when I was 40 years old, serving as a deacon and had retired from the military. You congratulated me and said you would retire one day.
Enjoy your retirement and family.
Very thoughtful.

Quite insightful!
I really enjoyed reading this substack. Someone told me once that being the spouse of a pastor is a ministry as well.
