I feel that it is my role to protect my wife and also to lead her spiritually. A big part of that is limiting how much emotional junk from the church I dump on her. I try not to tell her things that would lead to her having a lesser view of the ministry of the church or church leadership unless it directly affects her or is seriously affecting me.
