What does the Bible say about respect husband?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible calls a wife to respect her husband as part of a mutual, Christ-centered marriage marked by love, humility, and faithful service. Ephesians 5:21-33 grounds this pattern in reverence for Christ: wives are to honor their husbands, while husbands bear the weighty command to love their wives sacrificially as Christ loves the church. First Peter 3:1-6 commends a gentle and quiet spirit and godly conduct, even when a husband does not share the faith, yet 1 Peter 3:7 requires husbands to live considerately with their wives and honor them as fellow heirs of grace. Such respect is never permission for harshness, sin, or abuse; Colossians 3:19 forbids husbands from being harsh, and all Christian marriage is governed by forgiving love.
