A note to my friends who may not have believing husbands. 1 Peter says to be quiet also. They are won to Christ without a word! That tells me that quietness is loud. Actions DO speak louder than words. Being submissive is loud. Being loving is loud. Being a servant is loud. Being respectful is loud. Helping is loud. It is a blaring witness. So, although you may be tempted to nag and remind and whine him into spiritual-looking behavior, you serve God. You do what you know Godly wives and mothers ought to do (with a smile). There is nothing louder than that.
