Over half the priests serving in the Church of England are now women. As a result of this many men are finding themselves considering how to become the best 'clergy husband' they can be?

When Matthew Caminer found himself in this situation he wrote down his thoughts and advice for other clergy husbands. Drawing on personal experience and others he shares practical advice and informative advice for anyone married to a vicar.

The book is split into four parts and is full of helpful advice for supporting and engaging in life as a 'clergy husband'

"However much or little you decide to be involved - you are part of her journey and it will affect you." Matthew Caminer offers a broad guide to the trials, tribulations, pitfalls and peculiarities of being married to an ordained woman. As a husband of a newly ordained priest I recognised a great many of the potential problems, challenges and events discussed and can safely say that the past couple of years would have been traversed more smoothly had this book been read whilst my wife was still in training! Useful not only for identifying these challenges and offering advice and wisdom, this book also gives insights into what can be expected from others – your wife; the congregation; the Church – and could be informative and enlightening for all of these. Worthy to be read by all, not just for those finding themselves in the new (and not especially well defined) role of clergy husband.
