"Live with her in an understanding way, since she is a woman" 1 Peter 3:7

Your interest in this subject is appreciated and I am glad that we have the Bible as our source book to tell us what God expected of the wife in the marriage relationship. There are several verses in Ephesians, the fifth chapter that you should read, beginning with verse 22. Let me read only three of these for you. Verse 22, "Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord".

The position of the husband in the home and his related responsibilities are quite clearly defined in principle in Ephesians 5:22, 28-31. "Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, even as Christ is head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Bishop Victor Couzens knows people don't expect to hear about some things in church come Sunday morning. Like sex, for example, and condoms and the importance of HIV testing. But the numbers show it's a sermon they need to hear, says Couzens, senior pastor at Forest Park's Inspirational Baptist Church, so he stands in the pulpit and delivers the word.
