In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don't obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;
Be in subjection to your own husbands ... This is in agreement with other extensive teaching on this in the New Testament, as in  Ephesians 5:22ff,  Colossians 3:18ff, and  Titus 2:5.  Note also that this is extended to include the submission of a Christian wife to a pagan husband.  Although it may be supposed that both the husband and the wife, many times, would be converted together, there would inevitably be occasions when only the wife would become a Christian with her husband continuing in paganism.  As Hart said, "Paul found it necessary to impress upon the Corinthian church that this incompatibility of religion did not justify dissolution of marriage  (1 Corinthians 12:10ff)."[1] As a matter of fact, there is no evidence that conversion to Christianity was ever considered to be a cancellation of any legal contract, not even the status of slavery.
