Ministering To Your Mate

For some the greatest mission field is no further away than our marriage. While we may seek broader missions, have you practiced deferring to your mate as the Apostle Paul instructs us to do? (Ephesians 5:21) You may have loftier goals and dreams, but unless your family and marriage life is a witness to the power of Christ, you may be looking too far. Does your mate feel honored and cherished by you? Do they believe you have “deferred” to them in love? This may be your first true mission field.
