In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear. You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.

No matter what trials come our way, we can rise up and stand firm in our faith. In fact, part three of this 4-part Bible Plan from Pastor Amy Groeschel is designed to help you grow in your knowledge of God, expand your love for Him, and give you the courage to live out the truth of Scripture in every season—especially the heavy ones.
The Marriage Talks is the ideal plan for couples or small groups who want to understand what the Bible says about marriage as they grow their relationship together. Part 2 focuses on two marriage essentials: love and respect. Listen together as Kris Langham guides you through key Bible passages, and discuss together the differences between his and her love languages and respect languages. Great for groups or marital/premarital counseling.
Many times we struggle to find the right way to fulfill our role in marriage according to the Scriptures. In this plan, we will find biblical truths on the roles of men and women in the family unit.
