Ephesians 5:22-24 NLT
For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as
Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. As the church submits to Christ,
so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
1 Peter 3:1-4 NLT
In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words.
They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives. Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.
You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.

Proverbs 25:28 ESV
A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.
1 Peter 3:5-6 NLT
This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands.
For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.
