The key to a healthy family is an attitude of service. Remember, Jesus said, "I didn't come to be served but to serve". If a husband and wife begin serving each other, it won't take long for the children to get the idea that life is about serving others.
Some married couples can't agree on how much to tithe. They should begin by studying what the Bible teaches about tithing, agree to meet in the middle, then begin working toward God's ideal of tithing.
It's not unusual for married couples to lose that "in love" feeling over time. It's not a matter of you being "in love" but rather choosing to love. Scripture commands husbands and wives to love each other. Love may not come naturally, but it's something that can be learned.
In his book The Family You've Always Wanted, Dr. Gary Chapman provides practical help on how to be a loving leader in the home. Following the example of Jesus, Christian leadership focuses on meeting the needs of the wife and children.
If spouses would commit to reading Scripture and praying together, the church would become the Church, not just on Sunday.
