How You Treat Your Spouse Matters, Pt. 2: Husbands

How you treat your spouse matters—and God says it even affects your prayers.

As we continue our verse-by-verse journey through 1 Peter, we come to Peter's instruction for husbands in 1 Peter 3:7. God calls Christian men to live with their wives in an understanding way, to honor them as the weaker vessel, and to remember that they are fellow heirs of the grace of life. Biblical headship is never harsh, selfish, or passive—it reflects the sacrificial love of Christ.

In this sermon, we'll examine what it means to lead according to biblical knowledge, honor your wife as God commands, reject worldly definitions of masculinity, and pursue a marriage that displays the gospel. Peter's words challenge every husband to use his God-given strength for God's glory and the good of his wife—not for selfish ambition.
