Show Notes
With busy schedules in ministry, how do you and your husband make time for each other? Today, I have a conversation with Margie Frank. Margie is a mom of grown kids and is a ministry wife who resides in Tyler, Texas. She teaches and speaks to women's groups and together with her husband Hixon speaks on marriage and the family. In this episode, we talk about intimacy when you are married to the minister. Yes, my friends. We're going to talk about emotional and physical intimacy and how easy it is to live like a church volunteer in your marriage. If this lands on your thirsty heart, I pray that our conversation will be an encouragement to you.
