Part 10 - SERIES: This Exile Life
What does a marriage that pleases God look like? Peter gives instruction in 1 Peter 3:1-7 to husbands and wives. God is pleased when both husband and wife submit to the lordship of Jesus. Wives should submit to and follow the lead of their own husbands (not all men, just their own husband) because it's honoring to God. Husbands must care for and honor their wives just as Jesus does the church. When he does this, a wife will gladly follow, honor, and respect him. Through it all, both must submit to and honor the Lord, and in doing so Jesus is honored and their marriage becomes a beautiful and joyful thing!
