This project, through individual interviews, published resources, and personal research, strives to provide guidelines for clergy on how to incorporate and preserve a romantic, non-married relationship within a congregational setting. In addition, problematic areas for the pastor, love interest, congregation and denominational structure are considered through the lens of systems theory recognizing that all are dynamically connected within a larger emotional system. The hope is, as a result of this research, clergypersons can have romantic relationships that are healthy, appropriate, Christ-centered, and beneficial to the pastor, love interest, and congregation.
