Marriage Challenge: Go Above and Beyond to Serve Your Spouse
Marriage Challenge: Go Above and Beyond to Serve Your Spouse
ADAM WILLINGHAM
We all appreciate acts of service from our spouse. Everyone likes to be taken care of. For some of us, acts of service is our primary love language.
You likely already serve your spouse in many ways. But there are probably some things you rarely do. For example, I seldom vacuum the floor. What are some acts of service you don’t normally do?
Your marriage challenge is to identify three ways to serve your spouse they wouldn’t expect, then intentionally set out to do those things over the next two weeks. Jesus went above and beyond for us. We should do the same for our spouses.
“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” -1 Peter 4:10 NASB
