“Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own 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, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty … 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.” 1 Peter 3: 1-4 NIV (emphasis mine) Read full chapter
My thoughts: I have known women whose husbands were not believers. I have seen their heartbreak. Clearly, submission is not a call to endure abuse. I believe that the intention of these verses is to give guidance and hope to a wife who is praying for her husband to be saved.
In His Love, Cindy
