Husbands, consider the needs of your wives. They are weaker than you. So treat them with respect. Honor them as those who will share with you the gracious gift of life. Then nothing will stand in the way of your prayers.

Husbands, love your wives. Don’t be mean to them.

A husband should satisfy his wife’s needs. And a wife should satisfy her husband’s needs.

Some men and their wives cried out against their Jewish brothers and sisters.Some of them were saying,“ There are now many of us. We have many sons and daughters. We have to get some grain so we can eat and stay alive.”Others were saying,“ We’re being forced to sell our fields, vineyards and homes. We have to do it to buy grain. There isn’t enough food for everyone.”Still others were saying,“ We’ve had to borrow money. We needed it to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.We belong to the same family lines as the rest of our people. Our children are as good as theirs. But we’ve had to sell them off as slaves. Some of our daughters have already been made slaves. But we can’t do anything about it. That’s because our fields and vineyards now belong to others.”

Then Jesus spoke to his disciples. He said,“ I tell you, do not worry. Don’t worry about your life and what you will eat. And don’t worry about your body and what you will wear.

Every year at Shiloh, the day would come for Elkanah to offer a sacrifice. On that day, he would give a share of the meat to his wife Peninnah. He would also give a share to each of her sons and daughters.But he would give two shares of meat to Hannah. That’s because he loved her. He also gave her two shares because the Lord had kept her from having children.Peninnah teased Hannah to make her angry. She did it because the Lord had kept Hannah from having children.Peninnah teased Hannah year after year. Every time Hannah would go up to the house of the Lord, Elkanah’s other wife would tease her. She would keep doing it until Hannah cried and wouldn’t eat.Her husband Elkanah would say to her,“ Hannah, why are you crying? Why don’t you eat? Why are you so unhappy? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?”

And do everything you can to live a quiet life. You should mind your own business. And work with your hands, just as we told you to.Then unbelievers will have respect for your everyday life. And you won’t have to depend on anyone.

Husbands, love your wives. Love them just as Christ loved the church. He gave himself up for her.He did it to make her holy. He made her clean by washing her with water and the word.He did it to bring her to himself as a brightly shining church. He wants a church that has no stain or wrinkle or any other flaw. He wants a church that is holy and without blame.In the same way, husbands should love their wives. They should love them as they love their own bodies. Any man who loves his wife loves himself.After all, no one ever hated their own body. Instead, they feed and care for their body. And this is what Christ does for the church.We are parts of his body.Scripture says,“ That’s why a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The two will become one.”( Genesis 2:24)That is a deep mystery. But I’m talking about Christ and the church.A husband also must love his wife. He must love her just as he loves himself. And a wife must respect her husband.

Everyone should provide for their own relatives. Most of all, everyone should take care of their own family. If they don’t, they have left the faith. They are worse than someone who doesn’t believe.
