Pressure?

Hmm...

Do I feel pressured to become a clergyman because my fiancée-to-be is a pastor (not to mention her dad...)?

Probably not...

I don't know... at the moment, I feel that, while evangelism is Christ's last command to us, it certainly does not mean that each and every one of us needs to take up a pastoral position. There are many other ways to spread the gospel and edify believers.

For now, I'm just planning to raise a Christ-loving family with my wife, and support her in whatever ministry she's in. Ecclesiastes has much to say about man's life on earth, about its toils, about enjoying the rewards of your toils, and about enjoying the unity with your spouse.

Having said that, I can't rule out a career change should God's calling become clear and irresistible...
