What does it mean for a pastor to be a 'man of one woman'?

Answered in 1 source

A 'man of one woman' means a pastor is called to complete fidelity and devotion to his wife, reflecting God's faithfulness.

The phrase 'man of one woman' stresses a pastor's commitment to exclusive devotion in marriage, which encompasses emotional and spiritual fidelity beyond just physical presence. This requirement is not limited to the married state but emphasizes the necessity of a heart oriented solely toward one's spouse. Pastoral leadership demands such fidelity not only for personal sanctification but also as a testimony of the faithful relationship between Christ and His bride, the Church. Thus, unfaithfulness in any form establishes a disqualifying breach of character for pastoral service.
