Welcome to the Marriage Talk Podcast - Ep 184 - Is Your Wife A "Weaker Vessel" or Fine China?

1 Peter 3:7 reads,

“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live

with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker

vessel and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so

that nothing will hinder your prayers.”

Th is is perhaps one of the most controversial passages of Scripture when it comes to marriage, because no woman wants to be considered as a “weaker vessel.” However, if we dig deeper into the meaning of the phrase “weaker vessel,” it is actually a term the ancients used for fine china. It was called weaker vessel because it was not as clunky as everyday dishes.

So let’s read that again: “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as fine china....”

Now there is a great example of how to treat our wives. And the result? Our prayers will not be hindered!
