Title:Balance?
 I'm a young pastor's wife of a young, but growing church. I am finding it to be extremely LONELY as my husband is always on the go for ministry. I have few friends, but they don't understand ministry wives. So, I'm cautious when discussing this with them. I'm very particular when it comes to making "friends" within the ministry. My husband and I rarely spend time together and communicate. Most of the time, he is going to do ministry or we always have people at our house. Sometimes, I feel like a single parent. When I express this to him, the conversation always end in an argument, even when I desperately try to talk to him in love. He always says that this is part of the job and this is what he's called to do. Am I being selfish to want more time with him and my child...alone...apart from ministry???? How much is a pastor's wife supposed to give up without feeling so lonely and losing herself?
