I'm a pastor in one of the biggest churches in Nigeria. She started a school. Profit can't be in school business at the beginning. So I'm helping with teachers salary at times. But in ministry, if I'm transfered, she must follow me. Now the school is growing fast and she said she won't follow me if I'm transfered.

I've been a school teacher for years and I'm the academic backbone of the school.

Ok I understand it now.

Hmm it's a tricky one but tell me, before you married did you discuss the possibility of having to move to some other place for ministry? That is a big consideration when going into marriage with a pastor.

From a Christian perspective, she is supposed to follow you wherever you are called. That's the essence of being a pastor's wife.

I've seen people move to all sorts of places and wife has to follow. Maybe you should get to the bottom of why she refuses to join you .

Well it’s not that difficult you only need to reach a compromise for your pastoral role is it compulsory for your wife to move with you if or when you get transferred?if yes?then you have to motivate her by giving her incentives you can still continue pay some salaries especially that of your direct replacement since you teach there too and second since the school is going to need a new management if both of you leave then you should work together in finding a capable replacement who would continue driving the school and move it forward...why I said this is cos the school is like your wife’s baby her brain-child it won’t be easy for her to just let it go and move away or throw it away...!!but if it’s not mandatory for her to move with you then exit the school and let her continue to handle her school business and support her in ways you can afford too!

I was resisting calling into the pastoral ministry since 2010. I recently yielded to the pressure from people around me.

I take it you are in the church i think you are in? Look at the lives of the other pastors that towed your path and ask your self if you will be fulfilled in 20 years? You will constantly be moved every 3 years and yet you are encouraged to up and move with your family - meaning your family can really only survive on your income.

You are an EMPLOYEE as long as you remain a pastor in that ministry.....your wife is a Business owner!! She has a job for life, together, you both have a job for life with her business, collectively, your children have a business they can inherit, should both of you stay and nuture that biz together.

Being a pastor in that ministry where you are poorly paid and your wife is only given a stipend "monthly sal/allowance" will never cut it for the lifestyle you are expected to "potray" to the public......you will forever live on the goodwill of church members, thats even if you are fortunate to rise to Senior pastor level.

My brother, speak with other pastors who got sacked or left the ministry and ask yourself if that path you are towing is the right one? If you must continue in ministry, please prep and start your own...

But seriously, there shouldn't be my own or my wife's own in marriage. Whatever belong to you equally belongs to her and vice-versa.

Both of you don't understand what marriage is all about.
I had to read your post over over and over again to understand you.

She knew I would become a pastor. My main church is a Pentecostal one. But where I met her, I was attending orthodox to hide from those who know I had been resisting the calling. When I finally made up my mind, I returned to my church. But she doesn't like Pentecostal churches because her church is orthodox.

Don't even understand your writeup. And what is wrong if you support her and she owns the business

You probably need to read it again.

Her business takes time to grow. His is currently supporting the family. If he abandons his business, the family finances will suffer for a long time before her business picks up, if it picks up. But he needs her support for his business to grow some more.

Easy way out is for her to support him to grow his own, generate the needed capital, and later grow hers. The family will suffer less financially.

The school actually seems like it will be more profitable in the long run. Why don’t you open your own church Or ask your GO that you will like to be transferred within the state? Must you move from state to state to preach the word of God? If it’s not convenient for your family, don’t do it. If they sack you from that job nko? You will now deal with no money and an angry wife. The school business even seems more sustainable. Looks like your wife is the practical and reasonable one of you two.

I personally would not create an unstable life for my kids by moving them from place to place every few years. It can affect their social and educational opportunities. Especially when the pay we are relying on is not substantial. You have kids now, focus on what is best for their future and securing your retirement. Pastor work can always be a secondary focus or a second job. Put your effort in growing your business.

If she doesn't follow you, what would happen?

From your past posts, your wife is a greedy fellow. However, some things must have made her so. She probably sees no future with you and you've made her see no future with you.

When you do that Church business (it's a business to me cos you're growing another man's vision), in your old age when you retire, would the church live with you?

Go and ask those who pressured you into ministry to talk to your wife. They pressured you, not that God called you. See the consequences?

I suggest you go and read books on the marital challenges of William Carey, John Wesley and Ayo Babalola.

I don't mean to sound harsh but you haven't answered the question... I am an orthodox worshipper myself and visiting pastors come to my church from all over, equally trainee pastors will also be posted to another place where there is a vacancy. That's an obvious thing about being a pastor...

Did you guys discuss the possibility of moving around? Cos if you arrive in my church without your wife they will tell you to go and resolve your issues before you resume your duties

Excuse me, does she attend your church with you at all? What do you mean she doesn't like it...

When did you people realise that she doesn't like it and what does it have to do with being your wife....

PHIPEX:
He stated the wife's business can't feed the family. Isn't it easier for the wife to support a business that has a higher chance of success?

At Op, I feel your wife is afraid of losing out completely in the future. You may have to sit down and reassure her of her safety. You can also register or re-register your business and include her in the shareholding, that will make her see the business as her own too.

She just doesn't like our church. For instance, will you expect someone from a church where prophets always tell them prophecies to like RCCG? But she said prophecies revealed I'm the one before she agreed to marry me.

How would you like to be blamed if your business doesn't work out?

Without a partner, won't the business survive at all?

Can't both of you come to some sort of arrangement that enables youse to share your time between both businesses?

So you scammed her into marrying you? She obviously did not sign up to be a pastors wife. You better go and focus on growing the school with your wife and preach on Sunday’s. That church is another man’s business.
