Ruth Graham (Billy's wife) was asked whether, considering the difficulties of being a globetrotting preacher's wife, she had ever considered divorce.

She said, "No. Murder yes, but never divorce."

Surveys of Protestant clergy find that a majority of them report that their profession results in difficulties in their family life. I suppose that’s the sort of thing they could mention in premarital counseling - “There is likely to be constant tension between your work commitments and your family.” - but so could a Catholic priest or any random schmo off the street who reads a newspaper or watches TV.
