Spouse Behavior Holy Bible Guidance
Spouse behavior as prescribed in the Holy Bible 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 biblical guide to spouse behavior as prescribed in the Holy Bible 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.
Biblical Spouse Behavior
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.
