The Minister and His Wife
LONG before Mrs. John Wesley dragged her husband around the house by his hair, Christian pastors had found that among the most difficult persons in the world to live with were their own wives. No other area of human endeavor so dramatically and quickly bring to the attention of the pastor his own humanity and sinfulness as his relationship with his wife. The minister who is successful at helping other people solve problems of relations with others may still fail to have a happy and warm relationship with his own wife.
