Summary
Paul instructs households—wives, husbands, children, parents, servants, and masters—on how to reflect Christ through their relationships. Each group bears a specific responsibility: wives submit to husbands; husbands sacrificially love their wives; children obey parents; parents avoid provoking children; workers and supervisors serve with Christ as ultimate authority.
Highlights
The point of marriage is that it provides companionship that ultimately should point to Jesus Christ.
If you always get your way in marriage, you are a terrible, un-Christ-like leader.
As our children age, they should remember our apologies more than our sins.
