Spousal Biblical Behavior Outlook Lacks Encouragement
Spousal Biblical behavior is very often hard to observe in today’s society. One of the most dangerous situations law enforcement encounters, I have read and observed, is that of mediating domestic clashes between spouses. This often extends to other family members and other bystanders. Hardly a day goes by when you can’t read or hear of a case. Very often the clashes result in death of one or more of the spouses or of law enforcement members.
A spousal biblical behavior guide can be found in 1 Peter. Here the behavior that should be practiced by married partners is described from the viewpoint of the servant spirit of Christianity, God’s standard for all believers.

NIV 1 Peter 3:1-7.
Before becoming disturbed by the above verses in view of “modern” attitudes or standards, the reader is encouraged to read the author’s notes in the NIV version referenced in the Bibliography to this site. Those who dismiss these verses as the chauvinistic rhetoric of the first century are missing the whole servant spirit of Christianity. It remains God’s standard for all believers.
