This project examines the well-being of women married to ministers in the Christian and Missiionary Alliance. The project distributed a 69-item questionnaire to 1,003 such women along with the Spiritual Well-Being Scale. The questionnaire assessed perceptions of well-being of ministers' spouses in five domains of life--self, marriage, work, church. and community. Although evidence of significant stress appeared in various domains, this population demonstrated spiritual and emotional health. Several factors could be correlated with a high degree of spiritual well-being: initial sense of call to ministry, self-efficacy and differentiation in home and church, healthy communication in marriage, financial support from congregations, and presence of support and friendships outside the church. The project urges the C&MA to devote greater attention to pastoral care of ministers and their spouses.
