[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a minister.  When you are in a church, it's a really stressful job. Or at least I thought it was. Delivering sermons on Sunday morning is the easiest part of the job.  Running a non-profit and answering to a board is the hard part.  The drama in a church can be ridiculous both with congregants and with staff.  It often feels like you never make everyone happy.  People complain about the music (too traditional vs too contemporary), the temperature, the budget, the children's/youth programs, the service times, order of service, ....just on and on. You have to be really good at not taking things personally. It's a tough job when you have a family.  Saturdays are prep days.  Sundays are exhausting.  I tried to always take Mondays off.  You are on call all the time - serious illness, death, family crisis,....just constantly responding to crisis. Having a supportive spouse is critical. I stepped out of church leadership years ago. I work as a Hospice and hospital chaplain now and it's 1000X easier.  I admire pastors' spouses.  It's not easy.[/quote]

What sort of women do pastors usually go for? Do they prefer a religious woman or an ordinary woman? Is there a certain criteria or requirements they look for? [/quote]

They usually marry very young, around early 20s, to someone equally as religious that they likely met on a mission trip.

Yes, you have to be super religious, and a virgin with no prior boyfriends because you were dedicated to serving the Lord.
