What does it mean to love someone who belongs not only to you, but also to the church?

In Sleeping Beside the Pastor: Wisdom for Those Sharing Life and Ministry, Dr. Mary Hudson offers heartfelt wisdom, biblical insight, and practical guidance drawn from decades of life in ministry, as both a pastor's spouse and a ministry leader. Drawing from more than fifty years of marriage and ministry alongside her husband /pastor, Dr. Hudson compassionately shares lessons learned through seasons of joy, sacrifice, challenge, growth, and spiritual transformation. Her honest personal reflections, wisdom, and biblical counsel encourage couples seeking to honor both their marriage and their calling.

This is more than a book about ministry marriage. It is a guide for protecting relationships, nurturing emotional and spiritual health, establishing healthy boundaries, and remaining faithful through the changing seasons of ministry and family life.
