Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. (1 Peter 3:7 NIV)

What does the above scripture mean? This scripture does not mean “weaker” partner in the sense of moral or intellectual ability, but in physical ability. What is Peter trying to teach to husbands? I think Peter is telling husbands to honor and respect their wives by protecting them against outside influences and criminal abuses. If a husband is a man of God he will protect his wife from harm.

Second only to infidelity, financial stress and incompatibility tears apart more marriages and families than anything else. When couples start having money problems, tempers begin to flare. When tempers begin to flare, frustrations begin to build. And when frustration mounts to monumental levels, you can expect the big trouble to begin. It can lead to affairs. It can lead to drinking. It can lead to drug addiction. It can even lead to abuse. That’s why it’s important to take control of the situation early on, to prevent as much damage to your marriage (and your credit) as you can.

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4 (KJB)

Marriage is a binding relationship between one man, one woman and God. We know that Marriage is a picture of Salvation according to Ephesians 5:21-33 (KJB). Through Salvation we become the Bride of Christ. So just as God desires our relationship with Him to be complete (Salvation through Jesus Christ), God also wants us to have a complete relationship with our spouse. Marriage has many elements to the formula of success.
