description: A minister's wife discusses life in the "fishbowl": "A number of people expect their minister's wife to look a certain way... sort of early sweetly dowdy, bargain basement style... a sweet little wallflower who cooks like Julia Child and smiles like Miss America." "I'm never recognized unless I'm in the company of my husband" groaned one minister's wife, "and I got higher grades than he did in graduate school." "He who starts out raising a PK (Preacher's Kid) can end up with a mess, but only because he who starts out raising any child can end up with a mess." "Not even a minister with a balanced church budget and an overflow congregation has the power to make his wife happy. Only she holds that power."
