I Peter 3:1-2
In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so
that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won
without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your
chaste and respectful behavior.

If a husband or father is walking in sin then the wife and daughter must give room
for Christ to correct them. Christ is the head of man and correction must come from
the head, not from those under authority. There is too much of a temptation to enter
into rebellion and insubordination when those under authority try to correct. We will
look more at this issue of government in the following chapters.
