What’s the quickest way to a person’s heart? To serve them! Now the idea of serving can be about taking care of physical tasks to lift the burden off of them but there’s more to it. Husbands are called to serve their wives just as Christ served the church. These 5 strategies for serving are a great start to help you show your wife you care and that you believe that you are purpose partners!
1 - Step Up & Actually Lead
Cast a vision for your household, show up every day with confidence. One of the greatest needs women have is security. That means you have to be present and make bold decisions about your future.
2 - Don't Assume All Household Tasks Are Hers To Do
Every couple's allocation of household duties is different. Even if you have a traditional marriage where your wife stays at home for work you should still step up and help. Do the dishes, cook a meal, or at least respect the way she's organized the house.
3 - Hear Her & Elevate Her Voice
Your wife should be your trusted confidant and advisor. Bring her in on every major household decision. Honor her perspective and never belittle her perspective. Lead her with grace and empower her to lead in her sphere of influence as well.
4 - Don't Make Sex All About You
Your wife wants sexual fulfillment just as much as you do! Ask her what she likes and explore her pleasure as well as your own. Warm her up throughout the day by speaking her love language and letting her know you want to serve her both in and out of the bedroom.
5 - Initiate Prayer & Devotionals With Her
There's no greater way that you can serve your wife than to lead her to Christ. To know that you are covering her spiritually and will initiate pursuing God and his wisdom will bring her comfort and security.
