For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,

Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth. “For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the Lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.”
