I Peter 3:1-8
1In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,
2 as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.
3Your adornment must not be merely external -braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses ;
4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
5 For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands ;
6just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
7You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman ; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
8To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit ;
Maybe when you hear the word submission you think of this...

Does life sometimes feel like a competition where you're keeping mental score of whether or not you're winning. And when you have to give in or ''submit'' it feels like a lose or failure... Have you ever felt unfairly treated and then told to forgive or ''get over it''? Have you ever heard a sermon or a talk and thought ''how is that even possible'' or ''Jesus never had to deal with that''!
The Message Bible says it this way...
1 Peter 3:1-8
1 The same goes for you wives: Be good wives to your husbands, responsive to their needs. There are husbands who, indifferent as they are to any words about God, will be captivated
2 by your life of holy beauty.
