1 Peter 3:1-2; 1 Peter 3:7
In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands . . . as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect (NIV).
Prayer: Thank the Lord for the truths in 1 Peter 3:1–7, which give the secret to keeping grown-up love alive and well in your marriage. Ask for the wisdom to respect each other as God directs.
Action: This week, try to find a copy of the words to Aretha Franklin’s hit song from 1965, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T.” Try singing it together or at least talk about the words. In various ways tell each other, “I appreciate you,” or “I respect what the Lord is doing through you.” (For discussion questions, see page 269 in Appendix A.)
