"A Godly Wife’s Duties
2. Another duty of the wife towards her husband is respect and reverence of his person: Let “the wife see that she reverence her husband” (Eph 5:33). Now, reverence consists in two things: esteem and fear.
[1] She ought to cherish a high esteem of him: if not for his gifts and graces, yet at least for that relation in which he stands to her, as her lord and her head, superior to her by God’s appointment and ordinance. Yea, she must look upon him as that person whom God, out of all the numerous millions of mankind, hath particularly chosen and selected for her: one whom He saw fittest and best to be her head and guide.”
