Wives who love their husbands and want to save their husbands, do like Jesus. In order to save my husband by faith, I must die.
If I look for this and that to live, I evaluate my spouse by the world's standards. The world's standard is not to obey your spouse, but to demand more of your spouse. But he who learns of Jesus learns to lay everything down. In order to save us, Jesus obediently died on the cross and died for us once for all so that we could be saved.
Peter also says, the husbands behold the wives’ chaste conversation coupled with fear. Here, fear does not mean being afraid. Here, fear is the heart that comes out of respect. A husband may be lacking, or it may not fill my eyes, but God has allowed husbands to lead a family by giving them authority in the family. Even if the husband lacks, when the wife fears her husband, the wife can act chastely in front of her husband.
