This paper aims to present the marriage life and ministry of Dual Clergy Couples in the Presbyterian Church of Korea. After the ordination of women in 1996, Dual Clergy Couples are newly emerging ministry form. Therefore, I study advantages and disadvantages of Dual Clergy Couples. In this paper, marriage between two Presbyterian pastors contributes to understanding the partnership between husband and wife. This marriage relationship may enable the husband as a pastor to understand the hyunjang (현장, living setting) of the wife as a pastor. I also explore what factors are important to achieve partnership of Dual Clergy Couples in the Presbyterian Church of Korea. This paper will contribute to understanding of Dual Clergy Couples and the concept of partnership between man and woman. While the Whitehead’s model will be used in interrelating three dialogue partners such as Christian tradition, culture, and experience, we can discover the partnership, the harmony and sangseang (상생, living together). This paper introduces an ideal model in Presbyterian Church of Korea then suggests tentative pastoral actions.
