1 Pet. 3:1-6
"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, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear..............beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit................and are not afraid with any terror."

The "likewise" is referring back to God's desire for us to submit to civil government and to masters. A wife is to submit with respect and not with fear, even if her husband is not a believer. In most cultures, women have to submit to their husbands whether they want to or not. These verses bring comfort in that a woman should not be afraid to submit to a man and in fact it may be the way to bring him to Christ.

Dad also mentioned that this does not apply to women submitting to any other men, just their own husbands. And if a husband is abusive, that would fall under the punishment of the civil government.

My own experience is that biblical submission to my husband has brought great blessing.
