The Apostle Peter is showing us how to live as salt and light in a decaying culture. He does so by identifying three relationships which are to influence our culture for the Lord Jesus; our lives as public citizens, on our jobs, and in our marriages. We will begin looking at the last one – marriage – and the roles of wives and husbands in a salt and light marriage.
