Acts of Service

Mamas whose primary love language is Acts of Service feel loved when you do something for her with a positive attitude. The love language required forethought, time, and energy. When you do nice things for her without asking, it means so much more. The easiest way to give through acts of service usually involves housework, but there are many other ways to give through service.
