Ustedes, esposos, continúen morando con [sus esposas] de igual manera, [...] asignándoles honra (1 Ped. 3:7).
¿Cómo puede el cristiano ejercer su autoridad sin dejar de darle a su esposa la honra que se merece? Una manera es teniendo muy en cuenta su opinión y sus sentimientos antes de tomar una decisión que pudiera afectar a la familia. Por ejemplo, el esposo tal vez crea que debe cambiar de empleo o que la familia debe mudarse. O quizá se trate de un asunto más cotidiano, como adónde ir de vacaciones o cómo adaptar el presupuesto para hacer frente al alto costo de la vida. Puesto que estas cuestiones afectarán a toda la familia, es una muestra de consideración de su parte consultar a su esposa. Además, esto es muy beneficioso, pues así él seguramente tomará una decisión más equilibrada, y a ella se le hará más fácil darle su apoyo (Pro. 15:22). El cristiano que honra a su esposa se ganará su cariño y su respeto, pero más importante aún, contará con el favor de Jehová (Efe. 5:28, 29).

You husbands, continue dwelling in like manner with [your wives] . . . assigning them honor.—1 Pet. 3:7.
How can a husband exercise his authority and at the same time treat his wife as someone worthy of honor? One way a husband can honor his wife is by carefully considering her point of view and her feelings before he makes decisions that affect the family. Perhaps a decision has to be made regarding a move or a change of job or regarding everyday matters, such as where to take a vacation or how to adjust the family budget so as to cope with the rising cost of living. Because the family will be affected, it would be beneficial and kind for the husband to consider his wife’s opinion, as it may help him to arrive at a balanced, more considerate decision, and it will be easier for her to support him. (Prov. 15:22) Christian husbands who honor their wives gain not only the love and respect of their wives but, more important, the approval of Jehovah.—Eph. 5:28, 29.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
