- Peter is specifically addressing husbands who believe in God
- He calls for them to be faithful independently from their wives actions, just as he gave the same command to the wives
- He also urges them to live in their marriage as they know God has called them to, honoring their wives.
- To give honor is not just respect, it is to value them and to hold them in high esteem, even when they are not present
- In order to walk hand in hand, both must be obedient and faithful to the commands of the Lord.
