1 Peter 3:7: In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.
[1] Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

[3] Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
Ephesians 5:33 (NIV)
“However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." Bible verses about marriage reveal that men should love their wives as themselves — a call that points out the deep respect with which husbands should treat their spouses.

Be a helper to your husband.
While all of us are called to be helpers to others, the Bible places a special emphasis on this responsibility for wives. Genesis tells us that God realized it wasn't good for man to be alone, and that He decided to make a “helper fit” (Genesis 2:18).
1 Peter 3:7 says, " Husbands, in the same way, be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."

A Christian husband should love his wife as he does himself and always protect her from all harm (Eph. 5:25–29). He should do his best to “nurture and cherish” his wife in the love of Christ as he would his own flesh and tend to her spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs (Eph. 5:29; Col.
Ephesians 5:28 (NIV)

To understand the biblical teaching on this topic, we must read and understand the apostle Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 7:2–5: “Each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
We need men to lead, protect, and provide both physically and spiritually. Paul gives six virtues that men of God should pursue: righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness (1 Tim 6:11b). The imperative “pursue” is also a present tense command.
