In 1 Peter 3, Peter was writing to Christian wives who were married to unbelieving husbands, in a society where it was unacceptable for a wife to have a different faith than her husband. This passage was meant to be empowering to women and “to offer the Christian wife a strategy that would enable her to avoid violence, disarm the opposition of her unbelieving husband, and lead him to Christ” (D. Edmond Hiebert, 1 Peter, p. 194–195). Peter encouraged these women to live with their husbands in a way that showed Jesus (1 Peter 3:1-2), prioritizing what God prizes (1 Peter 3:3-4). When marriage was difficult, they should look to godly role models and put their hope in God (1 Peter 3:5-6).
This passage still matters to us today. It holds the one key to a better marriage today, which is to show Jesus in your marriage. You can show Jesus in your marriage by:
Fulfilling your God-given role.
Cultivating your character.
Hoping in God.
