Remember, the wife should be in subjection to her
husband even though he may not be converted. Though he
may
never be converted inthis life\I Cor. 7:12-16), yet if she
obeys him and respects him as the Bible commands, he wil l
in
turn love and respect her. As a result, he
may
be won over
by her good example . He may be inspired to want to obey
the truth when he sees the life she is living (I Pet •.
3:1).
In any event, her constant love and respect, and her cheerful
recognition of her husband's rightful pl ace as head of the
house will result in them both living a happier and ruller
life together at this present time.

All of you wives need to respect and submit to
your husbands as the Bible commands. This is God's way
-- the Christian way. Most women have not understood this
subject.
and
much unhappiness has resulted. Ask God to help
you honor your husband as you should.
