1 Peter (Program #17) -Christian Life and Its Sufferings (4 & 5)
The Bible speaks about marriage and about the marriage life in many places. It’s common for people to select their own favorite passages on this most personal of subjects. How often, for example do husbands anxious to establish their authority quote such verses as Ephesians 5 :22 where the apostle Paul says “Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord;” While many wives might prefer to remind their spouses of verse 25 in the same chapter; “Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.” But Peter also speaks of marriage and may in fact offer one of the most excellent passages in all of Scripture on the subject. Speaking to the husband, he says in chapter 3 of his first epistle, “Husbands, in like manner dwell together with them according to knowledge, as with the weaker, female vessel, assigning honor to them as also to fellow heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.“
