Spillover, or the transfer of affect from one domain of life to another, has recently been acknowledged to impact functioning in various domains of life. In a study that explored pastoral burnout and spillover, pastoral burnout as it related to the frequency and impact of ministry demands, marital satisfaction, and spouses' marital satisfaction was examined in a sample of 160 male Seventh Day Adventist pastors and their matched spouses. The impact of ministry demands was related to burnout, whereas the frequency of ministry demands was not. Marital satisfaction was related to burnout, indicating the occurrence of spillover; however, marital satisfaction was not related to ministry demands. Thus, marital satisfaction was not found to mediate the relationship between ministry demands and burnout. Likewise, an association between spouses' marital satisfaction and burnout was not established, indicating that spouses' marital satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between ministry demands and burnout. Overall, these findings indicated that positive between-spouse family-to-work spillover did not appear to avert pastoral burnout in this study. However, findings indicated that efforts towards the prevention of pastoral burnout will likely be effective by focusing energy on (a) equipping pastors and their families with the skills necessary to minimize the impact of ministry demands, and (b) supporting pastoral marriages through counseling, encouraging maintenance of proper boundaries, and the allocation of time for the marital relationship.
