SERVICE IN MARRIAGE
By Pastor Kunle Osunkunle
Service is one of the keys to having a great marriage. Service
involves giving yourself joyfully and not grudgingly for the benefit of
others. You can give without loving but you can't love without giving.
Marriage is all about service; therefore, you need to learn how to
properly serve your spouse. Without service, you can't have a
sustainable, successful, blissful and fruitful marriage.
Some people go into marriage with an aim that their partners will
meet their needs. This is wrong! You go into marriage with a mindset to
give your very best to your partner. This is why it is important to
spend more time to invest in your life while you are still single. By so
doing, when you get married you will have something worthwhile to
deliver to your spouse.
Service doesn't demean or debase the one rendering the service; rather, it brings respect and exaltation.

| Service in Marriage |
According to Matthew 20:20-28, Jesus is our perfect example because
He came to the world to serve. When you go into relationship, you must
understand that it not all about you but more about your partner. If you
want to be blessed in your marriage, you need to serve your spouse
whole-heartedly. A good marriage consists of two committed and cheerful
servants while a bad marriage consists of two committed masters.
Note that, the aim of service in marriage is to out-serve or out-do
one another and not for competition or rivalry. Thus, there are
responsibilities that are attached to being a husband or a wife and this
suggest true service.
