I Peter 3:6
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
The verses just before this one talk about having a meek and quiet spirit, being in subjection to our husbands.
The one thing that I learn from Sarah is that she followed her husband. Even with the mistakes she made God honors her for following Abraham. Her following sometimes got her in trouble but I am sure that Abraham had to answer for those times, not Sarah. This does not mean that the husband can be a dictator, but he is most definitely supposed to be the leader.
There is so much more to be learned from these women we are taking brief looks at. I challenge you to study each one and glean from them good habits.

Daily Devotion - Noah's wife
Gen. 7:7
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
The Bible does not tell us anything about Noah's wife. There are some assumptions that I believe can be safely made. We as women can be quite stubborn. I can't believe that she went in the ark unwillingly. She and her son's and her son's wives, I believe, were all supportive of Noah. Noah's wife must have been a good woman to raise son's that went right along with what God told Noah to do. They probably did not hear the "revelation" from God about the rain. They trusted their father. Had Noah's wife badmouthed Noah to her children they may not have trusted him. We need to be supportive of our husbands and very careful about what our children hear about their father.

Daily Devotion - Eve
Gen. 2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Not only should we be a companion to our husband (get interested in what he is interested in), but we should complement him. I don't mean give him complements which would be a good idea but our strengths should cover his weeknesses and visa versa. The Bible says we are one flesh. When people see you, they see your husband. Are you a good representation of him?
