1Pet.3:5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
3:6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

Why would Sarah call Abraham lord, when we find so few woman respecting men in our day? Did Abraham earn Sarah's respect perhaps? And/or Sarah loved God more than Abraham, unlike Eve whom rejected Adam's headship for a serpent. There were many things Sarah did not vibe for power control equality with Abraham she instead loving and respectfully subjected herself to God position for her. In other words, Sarah was wise with wisdom she could learn from creation and appreciate the order of God's beauty in creation.

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 1:20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.

She did not confuse mankind's failure with God's loving creation thinking as Eve did God was withholding something good by not making her equal to Abraham. She wasn't discontented with God's order, God's creation, she respect it, showed appreciation for it by honoring her husband with deep respect. In this she was will pleasing to God because she walked in faith removing the sight of fallen flesh that compares itself to other fallen flesh and than scream injustice, unfairness, and because of those abuses take the right to seizes upon Abraham's position of headship. No man on earth in his imperfect state deserves the gift of headship, he has failed from birth, and will continued to be less than perfect unlike Christ.

Prov.31:29 "Many women do noble things, but you excel them all."
31:30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised. 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!

Moreover, no child has perfect parent but it does not give them the right to disrespect what God has given them as their parent headship. What Sarah had was not written upon paper as proof of a godly person her proof was secret, she went into her closet and honor her God with reverence and awe before the holy angles that must have delighted when considering all the rebellion upon earth against God's headship. All of us do will in following Sarah's course in headship, no she did not go down as a great prophet, a king, and leader, and teachers, but what she did was perfect in God's eyes, and being loved by God out weighs all the glory of men and this world.

Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe.

1Tim.3:1 This is a faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer{or, superintendents, or bishops}, he desires a good work. 3:2 The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife,temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching; 3:3 not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 3:4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence; 3:5 (but if a man doesn't know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?) 3:6 not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
