"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."

I understand this scripture but it’s so outdated I don’t think a man can be won over in any regard by submissiveness alone. They’re so selfish these days.

@Aidan nothing in humanity has changed and no human is better off for having ignoring this timeless advice

@hippyjoe1955 I don’t think it’s very wise to say humanity has not changed. Its obvious that humanity has changed either for better or for worse.
