Let’s dive a little deeper into the Acts of Service love language. Remember the quintessential service question: Does this act make their life easier and better? How about the early stages of dating since that’s a bit early for taking on household chores? When someone asks me on a date and invites me to dinner, this is an act of service. I am hungry. The person who feeds me is literally making my life better by satisfying a basic human need and for that, I’m incredibly grateful. If someone invites me out for a drink, this is not an act of service. Why? Because I don’t really drink much so it doesn’t make my life easier or better unless the venue is visually enticing since I appreciate good design. If someone invites me out for tea or coffee, I am putting myself out because I don’t drink caffeine. Acts of Service is specific to an individual. A mixology devotee, coffee connoisseur or tea aficionado would feel differently than me about the exact same scenarios. You really have to get to know your Acts of Service person.
