Likewise, you husbands, live with them with understanding, giving honour to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered
understanding”– husbands should understand their wives’ problems, desires and weakness, and honour them in spite of any of these.
Prayers...not hindered”– if a married couple want their prayers answered they must be very careful in the way they treat each other. God may well refuse the prayers of a man who behaves badly toward his wife, or the prayers of a wife who refuses to submit to her husband.
