1 Peter 3
Wives and Husbands
1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 6like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
7Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
New International Version….what is this saying to you?
To sum it up…Wives submit to your husbands leadership of the family…Husbands love your wives as Christ love the church and gave up His life for her. Husbands…if you truly love your wife as Christ loved the church, you will consider her above yourself in all decisions and in all things. Wives if your husbands do this and is truly looking out for you and your needs, how easy would it be to fall under his leadership? Husbands if you do not take your leadership responsibly and seriously…your prayers will be hindered..not answered…WOW! Wives even if your husband is not good a leading, you must still serve as God has called you to serve in your marriage so that you may sway your husbands…WOW!
