You certainly ran the figurative "depart" (1 Corinthians 7:15) into the literal with that encounter, as in staying power. God bless your faithfulness!
I learned to err on the side of complete obedience. As you know I love Peter's letters. Unfortunately, the chapter breaks broke up one thought in 1 Peter 2 at the end which continued in 1 Peter 3. Read it this way without the break and tell me what you see.
18 Servants,
be submissive to
your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19 For this
is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what credit
is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this
is commendable before God. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed
Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Wives, likewise,
be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct
accompanied by fear. 3 Do not let your adornment be
merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on
fine apparel— 4 rather
let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
