Is marriage required for success in full-time ministry? It seems that way because it’s like every pastor is married. Full-time ministry is tough, but add family and it can be tough balancing both. I’m versed on the pitfalls of ministry because a lot of women are checking for ministers based on position. I think of Pastor John Gray as an example; his infidelity is publicized. Some women will throw themselves at an influential Christian man, so some men need marriage as a covering. My thing is, if a Christian man in ministry needs a wife to keep him straight, he has no business in ministry. He can’t be that spiritually weak to where he won’t put himself in compromising positions with women. He should be so focused on God, lust doesn’t cross his mind. I don’t care how fine a woman is, if God calls me to full-time ministry ALONE…my focus is serving God.
