1 Peter 3:1-7
1 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward–arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel– 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. 7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
Today I asked myself- “Who is a good wife?” and the scripture above provided a perfect response.
A good wife respects and submits to her husband. She understands that he is the head of the home and acknowledges this every single time. No matter what, she doesn’t look down on her husband and gives him the homage that is fit for a King.
A good wife understands the importance of looking good and ensuring that she appears well before her husband but also knows that beyond having a beautiful outlook is a fine heart. A heart that honours her husband and the God that gave him to her. A heart with beauty that is incorruptible. A heart backed by a gentle, quiet spirit that God holds in high esteem.
These are some very important qualities that every good wife to be must imbibe.
Beyond this, husbands are expected to love and honour their wife and treat them the way Christ treats the church. A good husband knows the importance on working to provide and protect his wife and kids. He understands that he must unite with his wife to access the grace that makes for a successful marriage.
