Wives are to submit to their husbands.
Husbands, you cannot take your wives for granted.
"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 purity and reverence of your lives." (1 Peter 3:1-2)
I am not married yet...I am almost exactly two months away, but this verse is so true of my fiancé.
It's been a bit of a difficult week with work stress and also finding out Rach and I both have to quarantine again. I remember on Tuesday morning, I was pretty bummed out. For me to not be in great mood means that I am defiantly stressing out about something. Tuesday morning, Rach told me that I needed to listen to some worship music in the mornings to get me feeling good and excited for the day. She told me how she was tempted to listen to other music but just felt like she needed to stick to the worship music.
A couple days go past, and this afternoon as I sat down and started reading I turned on worship music and all the negative thoughts and feelings I had just disappeared.
I didn't take action on what Rach said right away, but it stuck in my head.
Rach's words were not what made me feel better, her actions and the way she was living inspired me to take action that brought about change.
For all my friends who are husbands, pay attention to your wife and the way she carries herself. It's worth more than any words I could ever write.
A changed life speaks loudly and clearly, and it is often the most effective way to influence a family member. In this scripture, Peter instructs Christian women to develop inner beauty rather than being overly concerned about their outward appearance.
Husbands will be won over by their love.
True beauty begins inside.
