However, for you individually, let each love his wife as if she were himself; and the wife be careful to respect her husband.
Wives should submit to their husbands as submitting to the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives, just as the Christ loved the Church, and gave himself for her,
In this there is a profound truth--I am speaking of Christ and his Church.
Husbands, love your wives, and never treat them harshly.
Further, when our earthly fathers disciplined us, we respected them. Shall we not, then, much rather yield submission to the Father of souls, and live?
