"Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words

by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."

Sounds very religious.

@Isthisit Actually it is very good advice. There is a corollary that goes with it that instructs a husband to love his wife by sacrificing himself for her.

@hippyjoe1955 I got brought up in a christian church so i am farmiliar with it. Im no longer at church, still believe in god but dont practise anything. Sadly most people would just see this as oppression.

@Isthisit It's just smart to followGods advice.

@Isthisit Too bad you went to church rather than become a Christian. Going to Church makes you a Christian like going to a butcher shop makes you a roast beef.

Most people are not smart, are not happy, nor have their prayers answered!
