XVIII. Mutual Christian Obligation

WIVES TO HUSBANDS

Wives, obey your husbands as the Lord (Ephesians 5:22).

Wives, obey your husbands as is proper in the Lord (Col. 3:18).

St. Chrysostom on this

A wife who abstains from her bed without her husband's will, not only will she not receive any reward for abstinence, but she will receive a severe punishment if he falls into adultery; for she, having deprived him of his lawful descent, threw him into this pit of fornication (Homily on Virginity).

HUSBANDS TO WIVES

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25).

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh to them (Col. 3:19).

Reasoning

From the above-described teaching of St. Chrysostom, it should be reasoned that husbands who leave their wives without their will also sin and are subject to the same punishment if their wives begin to commit adultery.

CHILDREN TO THEIR PARENTS

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is what justice requires" (Ephesians 6:1).

Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord (Col. 3:20).
