Daily Guide 6 May 2022 | Scripture Union Outline

You will profit from reading Genesis 2:20‐25 and Ephesians 5:21‐33 along with today’s passage.

God who designed marriage has given clear principles to guide the relationship. Our marriages will weather the storms of life if we carefully follow these guidelines. Notice the link between the command for wives (v.1) and the submission of Christ to the Father’s will (2:22‐24a). Wife’s submission to her husband does not make her inferior just as Christ’s submission does not make him inferior to the Father.

However, in God’s design, the man is first among equals. Many husbands were not believers at Peter’s time. The wives’ behaviour was then and continues to be a source of witness to unbelieving husbands (vs.1&2). A woman can and should make herself beautiful on the outside. Notice, however, the more important adornment, the beauty that lasts forever (vs.3‐4).

Apart from Sarah, which other women in Scriptures should women model their lives after and why (vs.5,6)? Husbands must give due respect to their wives, honour and protect them. Men must also place trust and confidence in them. Women are by nature generally not as strong physically as men. Husbands therefore must use their strength to defend, not bully, their wives lest their prayers with and for one another be hindered (v.7).

Practice/Word Application
Reflect: Check your relationship with your spouse in the light of today’s message. Have you failed in any way? Then ask for forgiveness and renew your vows to each other.

• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

Closing Prayer
• Pray for grace to obey and fulfil your marital obligations according to God’s will.

Offer a prayer of faith in line with
Deuteronomy 28:1; 1Samuel 5, 6, 1Corinthians 14
