1 Peter 3:1-7. Has this declaration to make,"Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word,they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear....But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quite spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price...Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord...Likewise,ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto a weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life;that your prayer be not hindered. "You will observe that the center of this passage is the family by knowing fully well that everyone comes from one family or the other. Following the initial statement, the Spirit of God through Apostle Perter,directed and openly admonishes the wife. He tells her exactly the pattern and procedure to embark in order to win her husband to herself and to the Lord,if he is still to give his life to Him. He at the same time, approaches the husband by informing him what he must do to win his wife over. The significant of this set of instructions presented to each other is to make them effective at making their union what God desires it to be:representation of the unity that occurs in the Godhead.
