Beating My Wife

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

…not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
