I don't understand very well this question.....In The Bible is write,if you have choice to be wife,be wife,the marriage is an saint thing which an men was accepting.In her free time(after she finished her home work),an wife can do what she whant,read,go to the church.......her husband must respect her freedom,the needs of her soul. The evolution of the souls ,of an husband and an wife are not equal,so we must respect the needs of each and other,in the limits of the good morality.

Good question. The bible reflects the time and the circumstances the books were written.
Women were possessions and chattels, both sexes were uneducated, only the men have the means of income.
In the other holy books, there was no such hardships and there fore no such premises defined the womans job and role in the family.
If you ask me, the husband should look for answers that are "in the present" and within the bounds of common sense, and not look into books that cemented his reign as head of the household as point of reference for the roles in the house.
If he treats his wife welland as his equal, shares in the load of housework and childcare, his wife will hopefully respond in kind (if she is not a dingbat) and there will be peace in the household.. And those wont be "the word of god" but the words of the marraige counselor. ;-)

Dear it,
If you are a Christian and your wife is not--it can be very difficult at times. However, if you are going to follow the Lord and His word you must do what Ephesians 5 commands--love them. You have to show the love of God to your wife. This means that you need to be patient with her, be kind to her, show your love. How many times have we sinned and the Lord has been so patient with us?
Many husbands err in that they become judgmental, intolerant, and critical of their wife. The Bible tells us that what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder... Therefore, if you are going to do things God's way you can never think of divorce as an option. Jesus showed us by example, then He taught the lesson. So you must patiently, and with loving kindness show "Christ" to her. For example, when you come home from a tiring day at work, serve your wife. Ask her how her day was. Have her sit with you and talk with her about her day. Show your love to her by holding her or giving her a massage. Wash the dishes after dinner for her--make her understand that you appreciate her and all she does to keep the household going. "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

A shower and a shave, brushing your teeth, going on a diet if you are a three hundred pound butterball turkey, some flowers, some chocolates, maybe an evening out once in a while, instead of a demand for her to lie down and submit to doing her duties, might actually get you laid once in a while..

depends upon your interpretation of " GODLY DUTIES " as we are living in a modern society and things have changed over the the years. wives have more rights now than they did back in Biblical Times. if you demands are unreasonable She might get you with a frying pan or rolling pin.

Ephesians 5:21-30 has the answer.
How do you get a wife to willingly respect her husband?
Love her more.
The passage is not a reciprocal agreement between marriage partners. It is God's directive to each party.
Husbands, love your wives.
Wives, respect your husbands.
Strange how the CHURCH in Ephesus needed to be reminded of such things.
Each should work on their relationship with God. Then with each other.

Nothing. You have to understand that not everyone is going to believe in what you believe. Put it like this. I've practiced Islam, but I do not agree with everything that's in the Quran. Remember, it was written by man, how man sees it. When you get verification that those are the exact words of God and not modified by man; only then will you have anything to say about what duties she has.

Are you living up to your God given duties as a husband? A woman usually will respect and accept a husband who loves her and genuinely cares for her.

Find a wife he is looking for and marry her instead. Good Luck
