What We’re Doing as Pastors to Keep Our Marriages Healthy

Josh and Sam have a personal conversation about the ways they are intentionally working to keep their marriages healthy.

1. 1. Relationships often fail because of unmet expectations.
   2. Success as a pastor is not the same as being a successful spouse or parent.
   3. The “Top Ten” list idea: Let your spouse tell you what’s best.
   4. The big question: Do you tell your spouse a lot about church happenings or not?
   5. The “First Lady” of the church: Good thing or not?
   6. Friends in the church: Helpful or dangerous?

Ministry isn’t theoretical. It comes with complex challenges that demand wisdom and clarity.

The Doctor of Ministry at Southern Seminary is designed to help you address those challenges head-on.

You’ll bring a pressing issue from your church into the program and, under the guidance of trusted faculty, develop a biblically grounded plan you can implement in your context.

This is theological depth applied directly to preaching, leadership, counseling, and shepherding.
