How to Have a Servant’s Heart & Reclaim Joy in a Christian Marriage

How to Have a Servant’s Heart & Reclaim Joy in a Christian Marriage

I remember my mother commenting once on what we were making and my grandmother replying that she wasn’t particularly fond of it. Astonished, my mother asked why she made it if she didn’t like it. My grandmother simply replied, “Because your father likes it.”
