Relationship Between a Husband and Wife
I think I'm going to start back by reviewing what I've already done on this subject, and then continuing with it.
==========
Ephesians 5:22-32 - instructions to husbands and wives
Colossians 3:18-25 - Rules for Christian Households
1 Peter 3:1-7 - instructions to husbands and wives
Hebrews 13:17 - the context gives me the impression that it is telling the members of the congregation to obey their church leaders (e.g. elders); but I wonder, if the church is to obey the elders, should a wife not obey her own husband even more so?
Titus 2:3-5 - older women teach the younger women how to love their husband and children
Genesis 2:24 - leave parents and become one flesh
Genesis 3:16 - Eve's punishment for eating the forbidden fruit.
Genesis 12:11-20 ; Genesis 20 - Sarai obeyed Abram, even when instructed to tell a half truth.
Genesis 16 - Abram and Sarai loved each other very much. They each wanted the other to be happy, even if it meant giving up something they considered to be their's.
Genesis 2:18-22 - God made woman as a helper for man.
Genesis 18:6 , Proverbs 31:10-31 - Description and duties of a good wife
So far I've looked up various forms of obey, submit, subject, and rule.
Other words to look up:
wife
wives
husband
husbands
authority
specific examples: Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca
