Summary

Serving is not likely to make it to the top of most people's "things that are sexy about marriage" list. Still, serving one another is one of the most profound (if not THE most profound) ways to love each other in marriage. In today's episode, we discussed three ways Jesus showed us to serve one another when he washed his disciples' feet. We also shared some of what's been going on personally as it's been a particularly emotional season in the Frederick household. In this episode we worked through one of the devotions included in our Husband/Wife in Pursuit bundle. You can learn more about that at 31DayPursuit.com. Thanks for listening!

0:37.7	And so in marriage conversations like these,
0:39.8	we can say, hey, serve your spouse because if you serve your spouse,
0:43.4	you're going to have a better marriage,
0:44.4	you're going to have a happier marriage,
0:45.6	or you're going to get the thing you want from them,
