 Be careful with #2. A husband is called to die for his wife if necessary (Ephesians 5:25), so his self-preservation can't be above his family. For this reason, I have my priorities arranged as God, then family, and lastly, self. However, to live out the servant leadership we are called to for others, you first have to rightly order yourself; in that sense, the self is higher.
