I have come across this expectation a number of times.
it goes something like this, If a husband obeys God in being a husband
it will somehow cause a wife to obey God in being a wife.


But how does the obedience of one person to God have anything to do with the disobedience of another.
That is true in one sense but false in another. True because persona's rub off on each other, there is the expression, "you are what you date" but its false because everyone makes there own choices. I have spoken to people that have partners that do not agree with there views. Opposites attract in some cases.

How about "you get what you deserve"
Why else do we make bad or hasty choices in a mate?
it is because of who we are.

As far as having an effect on another person the bible warns against think that you will.

My advice at this point is focus on becoming the person, that the person you want, would want to be with.
AKA seek first the kingdom of God (in you) and all these things will be added to you.
I know it is about physical provision but it is also about what everyone else in the world is seeking to get for themselves.
As I see it this is how you get what you need from Gods hand and not your own efforts.
