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.

If your love language is Acts of Service, you know that serving others can take a toll on you physically and emotionally. Taking time to care for yourself is often the best thing you can do for your family.

If your wife is criticizing you for not helping her, she's giving you valuable information that says her love language is Acts of Service.

God's design for marriage is that the husband should be the head of the wife; but it's one of the most exploited concepts in the Bible. Instead of the husband lording his authority over his wife, he must follow the example of Christ's headship over the Church - through sacrifice and service.

Pastors, who are you giving your life to? Pastors should be serving God through serving people. And serving your family first is fundamental to your service to God.
