1 Peter 3:3-6
Don't be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. That is the way the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They trusted God and accepted the authority of their husbands. For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, when she called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do. (NLT)
 
God cares about one thing and that is your heart. He cares nothing about outward appearances He only cares about your inward person. A wife is to first trust God and then accepts the authority of her husband. Does this mean she gives up who she is or who God created her to be? No. In Genesis God says “a man shall leave his Mother and Father and cleave unto his wife. The marriage is about how the two become one with each other and with God. Marriage represents the trinity, “God, the husband and the wife,” it represents, “God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and these three are one.” Putting God first in everything.
 
Engage the Present – Create the Future – With Jesus Christ
