1 Peter 3:7

1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
Hey ladies!
I bet there are many of you that do not like to be labled the weaker partner. Am I right? Know why I think this? Because for centuries man has abused you reminding you in a condemnation form this edict. So, what is the reaction? Resentment, hatred, vengeance, payback, do the things man can do but even better. The nevironment is so negative that you want to even attck this verse because of the abuse.
But what is the result? Men dodge you and avoid marriage because they do not want you to usurp authority over them. Result: slippery slope towards zero reproduction. Man and woman approach extinction. That's not going to happen, but we may come close. We may come close.
There are a lot of good looking women out there [OH MY GOODNESS YES!!], but many of them have a job that once man was in now they have the power or they are extremely smart thus intimidating a man. Ergo, these folks are like the plague and at all cost many not all men say: AVOID! AVOID!AVOID!
Setting aside abuse ladies and men, I eman if there was not a history of abuse, how do you interpret 1 Peter 3:7? That's the way ladies and gentlemen is the real way you have to really interpret 1 Peter 3:7.
Are you men imitating Jesus in that you are allowing GOD to work through you so as Jesus loves the church his bride you have the same love towards your wife?
Wives, is not the church weaker vessel, the wife, the bride of Christ. Without Christ what can we do? So wives what can you do without the husband? Mind you after your husband leaves you are single again so please understand that after you die you will do all things in Christ Jesus.
So husbands because the wife is so dependent on you or she will fall in her countenance if you not put on Jesus and your prayers hindered! Does your love run so deep that as Christ died for the church, you would do likewise if you got the call? And wives you know your husband in spite of all the history of abuse sinful man has imposed, do you not wish to immitate the righteousness of Jesus in your husband by obedience, discipleship, and yes agape love?
On man, take care of that precious gem given to you by GOD. Take extra care. You are your wife's best friend. And if you in Christ make effort to express this to your wife, your wife will be your best friend too even like you willing to lay their life for the family!
Oh man oh wife in this process it is crucial at all times Jesus become your best friend in quiet times and through each other.
AMEN!
