Service to spouse

Marriage is about service to your spouse. To be of service is something that comes natural to me but was usually something I showed up for. Other than being a child in my mother's home it had not been a constant in years. I just had me to look after. When I got with my husband everything changed and at that point, he was just my boyfriend.

I love to cook and like things a certain way, so he got spoiled quickly. At times I would get frustrated usually because we were arguing and thought it was crazy for him to expect the same thing as usual. We both had some maturing to do. Fast forward we got married and marriage shifted my perspective on serving him even when I was upset. He was my husband and who would take care of him if I didn't.

I know look at it as a privilege. I love to watch him enjoy my food, the peace he has coming into a clean and prayed in home and having him look to me for order in every aspect of our lives. Take care of him when he is sick, massage him when he aches, wash his back in the shower. Yes, he is spoiled but he is my husband. He is the gift God gave me in covenant. The one who loves on me, checks on me daily, calls me when something funny happens, randomly tells me I'm beautifully and he loves me, comes homes to me every day, and just checks in to make sure I am ok.

He is my best friend. My favorite travel buddy. My daily entertainment. The first person I want to talk to when anything happens. The person that knows my deepest pain and the person that knows how to make my day. The person I smile with and have the deepest laughs. He will be the person I am with for the rest of my life, and I am so happy to serve him. I think nothing of it to do it for anyone even strangers. Why in the world would I not do it for the man that changed my name?
