I Peter 3:7
Excerpted from: What Is the Work?In Ephesians 5:21 and I Peter 3:7, we have instructions given to families. Peter said that a husband was to dwell with the wife with understanding. That is not autocratic! The husband is to give honor to the weaker vessel. Do you know what to give honor to means? It means we give honor to those that we respect, either to the person or to the office. What enables you to give honor to somebody? I will tell you what it is. It is because we have placed a value on the person—either the person, the office, or what they have done. That is what that word honor means. "Dwell with them, placing a value upon them."
Husbands, how valuable is your wife? You are going to treat her in direct proportion to the value you place on her. If you think that she is nothing, you are going to treat her like an old crock-pot that you kick around, and you are going to be autocratic, not considering at all that wonderful life that is there, that is every bit as valuable as yours. If you place a high value on her, though, you are going to listen to her. You are going to listen to the words she says. You are going to hear her heart speaking. That is the way it has to be with the officers of this church. Elders and deacons have to look beyond, and look into the heart of that person and not immediately take offense because somebody does not immediately respond the way that they think they should. Maybe they did not respond in the right way, but why?
I Peter 3:1-12
Excerpted from: Proverbs 31 and the Wife of ChristBrethren, the virtuous, trustworthy wife of Christ, relying on the excellency and strength that only comes from God, will only be those who have already learned faithfully, have been following the preparation manual of the wife of Christ that God has set before us to do the work and build the character of the virtuous wife that only does good to complement, with an E and compliment with an I, Christ for eternity.
