Dear Diary,
So, the other day I shared about the wifely-material. Today we focus on the Christian husband. Peter takes 6 verse to address the issue of wifely submission but only 1 verse to address the Christian husband, the brief instructions are deep though!
1 Peter 3:7, instructions to Christian husbands: first, the husband should be considerate; second, he must recognize and take into account the fact that his wife has less physical strength than him (weaker partner); third, the Christian husband must show his wife respect and not despise her physical weakness; fourth, the Christian husband must recognize that he and his wife are coheirs of the gracious gift of life. Lastly, a Christian husband must remember that a bad marital relationship can mar their relationship with God; it can hinder their prayers.
Wow! Imagine a submissive wife and a considerate, respectful husband= healthy marriage.
Yours faithful scribbler,
