Thank you so much for posting this. I found it on a google search as I am looking for information on what it’s like to be a chaplain’s wife (my husband will be going to chaplain training for 3 months next summer.)

I’m lucky to live near a lady who had a husband in the army as a chaplain for 20 years. She’s told me all about it, and while I’m nervous to have my husband gone for so long—I know that God will provide!! Thanks for posting!

[...] Lee, Virginia after being in Germany for over two years. I love serving along side my husband as a Chaplain’s Wife. Keith also blogs at chaplainandrews.com and Comic Book Day. He actually introduced me to blogging [...]

AMEN! I am bookmarking this post, because I get asked often about military chaplaincy. (My husband is an Air Force chaplain.)

Glad to “meet” you here!

This is an awesome post. I so look up to ministers and chaplains and their wives. It’s such an amazing calling. God bless you and your family!

Thank you! I am in a courtship with a wonderful man who is called to EMS/Fire Services (& possibly future military) & chaplaincy & we met through chaplaincy (I am finishing up my training w/my fire department’s Trauma Support Team). I want to learn how to prepare not just to be a future helpmeet but to fit into God’s plans to minister to a husband in a unique calling that’s different than even the normal challenges of a Christian marriage. This blog & comments are so encouraging for me right now! Glad I googled you!

Thank you for your words of encouragement. As the war is taking its toll on our country it makes me pray harder as to what our true calling would be. My husband too is is looking into joining the military as a chaplain having recently graduated with his D. Min. I am hesitant at times and yet know he would love to take another leap in his calling. In reading your blog I realize that “we” are not only a team but a FAMILY OF ONE…Amen!! Thank you for your time.

I think the best part of my expatriate experience has been our church. It is an Anglican church in so much as the minister is from the Anglican church, but we are a melting pot. The draw of this particular church is that it is the ONLY English speaking church in the region. As such, anyone who wants to worship in English comes here, sort of like the chapel you described. We are a mix of Catholics and Protestants, the long-term church goers and the newbies (like me). We have one service each week, and it seems to meet everyone’s needs. This is not a church that would work just anywhere. It is the nature of the expat community that helps it work, sort of like the Army community I’d think.

I wonder where else we will find parallels in our lives.

Monica, I really enjoyed this! You know how much I agree on the importance of being a helpmeet to your husband, in whatever arena of life God places him. It was interesting to read this perspective of military life and ministry, and I think you do a fantastic job wearing all the “hats” you have been given!
