The Importance of Respecting Husbands
- A wife should hold her husband in high esteem within her heart and mind, and this will not feed his male ego, but rather make him more humble, gentle, and gracious towards her.
- She should honor, prefer, venerate, esteem, praise, love, and admire him exceedingly, and this can be done by finding virtuous things in his life that she can respect.
