How should a husband treat his wife?
A husband should render benevolence to his wife and treat her as something he would die for, not as someone to beat around the house or use as a gopher. This reflects God's intention for the marriage relationship rather than abuse.
Les teaches that in I Corinthians 7 the husband is to render benevolence to the wife. He explains that the wife beating and wife abuse seen today occur because people have not been taught plain, simple Biblical principles. Those principles are that a husband is to treat his wife as something he would die for, not as something he can beat around the house or treat as a gopher. That, Les says, was not God's intention for the marriage relationship.
