Is Your Marriage Built on Service?

Building a Christ-Centered Marriage

Seeing each other as He does

A Marriage Rooted in Christ's Love

Hey there, friends! This week, we’re diving into the beautiful picture of a Christ-centered marriage—one where love isn’t just spoken, but shown through daily acts of service and sacrifice. The foundation of such a marriage is rooted in the humility and love of Jesus, who calls us to serve one another as He has served us. It’s not about perfection; it’s about intentionality, sacrificial love, and sharing a common purpose to glorify God.

Reflecting on Mutual Service in Your Relationship

In the hustle of daily life, it’s easy to let busyness crowd out the deeper connection between you and your spouse. But when we take a step back and focus on what Christ modeled—serving one another—we find that true intimacy and joy come from serving each other selflessly.

Ask Yourself:

  • How can you incorporate more acts of service into your marriage this week?

  • When was the last time you showed your partner love through an intentional act of humility or sacrifice?

  • What is one area where you can better align your marriage with Christ’s example of mutual service?

Call to Action:

  • Making your partner’s favorite coffee in the morning.

  • Writing a note of affirmation or encouragement.

  • For premium subscribers, we have “Love In Action Worksheet.” It is designed to help you identify small, intentional ways to serve your spouse daily.
