“Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is your acceptable duty in the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they may lose heart.” (Colossians 3:18-21) In Genesis it says that a man and women become “one flesh” through marriage. It is known as a building block of human society. Husband and wife are equal, as all are under Christ. It is also saying family members are required to look after each other and care for each other also. Augustus was thought as the savior of traditional roman values. In roman culture under Augustus, the divorce laws were strict and people should not marry outside of their social class. Ancient Rome was a man’s world. Men held all the power. The oldest living male dominated each family and whatever he said went. Even the sons in each family had very little say, and the woman main job was to give birth. If you were to take the bible verse literally, it ultimately sums up an Ancient Roman
