After all, preachers are men too, clothed in nice suits, shoes, and fancy robes. All my life, I had been around marriages that should have ended years ago. I wanted to be different; I wanted to help people change. I wanted to see men love and cherish their wives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe all know for the most part at least on the surface that preachers' wives seem to be more than happy. Some wear the designer suits and hats with fancy matching shoes. On occasion, I did too. However, I soon found out, at least in my life, it was all superficial.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI was all smiles and encouraging words outside the door, but most days, behind closed doors, my life was a living hell.
