The answer is: With honour

1 Pet 3:7

In 1 Peter 3:7, Peter's instruction for husbands to treat their wives "with honor" is part of a larger discourse on relationships characterized by respect and understanding. This fits neatly into the broader theme of mutual respect found throughout the New Testament. Onehand, Peter emphasizes the importance of recognizing a wife's role, validating her as "the weaker vessel." This isn't a comment on her value but rather an acknowledgment of the protective and nurturing aspect traditionally associated with femininity.

Interestingly, this notion of honor is pivotal in many cultures and time periods. It suggests a high value placed on interpersonal connections and highlights the idea that a relationship, at its core, should be built on dignity. Throughout the Bible, we see echoes of this theme across various books: in Ephesians 5, Paul encourages mutual submission, elevating the ethos of partnership. This extended metaphor and practice of honor tie back to how God relates to humanity—primarily through acts of love, mercy, and respect.

Want a fun fact? The term “weaker vessel” has spurred many discussions among theologians. Some point out that in ancient socio-economic terms, men often held positions of power, leading to a greater responsibility to protect, support, and uplift their partners. Therefore, cultivating an environment of care naturally fosters deeper relational integrity. Treating every interaction with dignity builds a loving legacy that transcends time.
