<p>7:16 <em>For how do you know, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you shall save your wife?- </em>The thought seems to be that by hanging in there and seeking reconciliation (see on :15), the believing partner has the chance to save their partner.We note that salvation is partially predicated upon third parties. We can save others, we can cause their stumbling also.We also see here a balance regarding the interpretation of Eph. 5:23 where the husband is presented as the saviour of the wife. This is true, but it can also be that the wife saves the husband.<i><br /></i>&nbsp;</p>
