The document provides guidance for the Men's Fellowship meeting discussing wives submitting to their husbands through godly behavior. It advises that wives can influence their husbands, even non-believing husbands, through demonstrating a spirit-filled life of joy, peace and patience without words. Wives should not depend on outward beauty alone, but cultivate an inward beauty through a humble, gentle and peaceful spirit, as Sarah submitted to Abraham's leadership.

- 10. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
