1 Peter 3:1-2

In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands, even those who refuse to accept the Good News. Your godly lives will speak to them better than any words. They will be won over by watching your pure, godly behavior. (NLT)

 

God has order in all He has created. When things are done according to God’s Word and God’s will blessings come in abundance. God has placed the man as the head and the authority of his household. But a husband who does not listen to his wife is foolish and if a wife does not accept her husband’s authority is also foolish. To have peace and harmony in the marriage you must accept the role and position God has placed you in. God’s will done God’s way gets God’s blessing.

When it comes to the gospel, if you have an unbelieving spouse you are not to belittle them or beat them with the Bible or verbally bash them. But instead you must live out the Christian life in front of their eyes so that they may be won over by your godly behavior. This you must do also to your neighbors and co-workers that they may be won over by seeing you living out the gospel of Jesus Christ in front of them. Remember they are watching you to see if you are walking the walk and talking the talk.
