Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—for we are members of his body.

1 Peter 3:1-7
Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is how the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives…

Bible verse about the wife treating the husband
The Bible is full of examples of husbands and wives who treated each other well. Here are a few examples:
“Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:22)
“Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.” (Colossians 3:19)
“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” (Proverbs 31:10)
“The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.” (Proverbs 14:1)
“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.” (Ephesians 5:22-24)
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” (Ephesians 5:25)
“Husband and wife have become one flesh. This is what God has ordained for sexual relationships; this is how he wants you to live.” (Genesis 2:24)
“Like Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord.” (1 Peter 3:5)
“Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:22)
God’s word is very clear about husbands loving their wives and treating them with respect. If a husband does not love his wife, it is because he has never been loved by God or by anyone else in his life.
God’s word also makes it clear that if a husband wants to be respected and honored by his wife, he must first love her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). This means that he must be willing to sacrifice his own desires for those of his wife and family.
When a man chooses to love his wife, he chooses to honor her and treat her well. He will never treat her with disrespect; he will never use violence against or abuse her physically or psychologically; and he will always put her needs before his own selfish desires.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians 5:25-33
Ephesians 5:25-33

He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. 1 Peter 3:6-7
6 Just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear
