What does it say?
Peter encouraged wives and husbands to respect each other. Even in suffering, believers have an opportunity to testify of God’s grace.
What does it mean?
Peter gave God’s directives for the husband and wife relationship. For the Christian wife, submission is a deep confidence in her heart that God is in control. She desires to be the woman God wants her to be. As she applies God’s Word to her life as a wife and acts in faith upon His principles, her obedience to God and submission to her husband create inward beauty – a gentle and quiet spirit. The husband, in turn, sees his leadership role as one of love, respect, and understanding of his wife’s needs. He communicates to his wife that she is important and that he values her opinions.
How should I respond?
As Creator, God designed the roles for the husband and wife so that they could work together with the greatest creativity and success. As a wife, you are to adorn yourself with good works that you might glorify the Father in heaven. As a husband, you are to lead, protect, and provide as the spiritual leader of your home. As you both seek a godly home, keep in mind that He knows what is best for you. When you pray today, thank Him for the unique way He works in your lives to help you understand His will for you. Will you commit to studying and applying God’s Word to your role in the home?

1 Peter was written to the “elect exiles of the Dispersion” (1 Peter 1:1), a group of believers forced to flee their homes and lives due to persecution. Although they lost much, Peter reminds his readers that they have “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading” (1 Peter 1:4). Truly, Jesus is our Living Hope, transcending all our difficulties to provide hope and courage amid opposition.
