“Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.” (1 Peter 3:7)
Here are the lyrics to a British hymn that I learned in school. I think it relates to chivalry. I used to sing it to my daughters as a lullaby:
When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old,
He was gentle and brave; he was gallant and bold;
With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand,
For God and for valor, he rode through the land.
No charger have I, and no sword by my side;
Yet still to adventure and battle I ride;
Though back into storyland giants have fled,
And the knights are no more, and the dragons are dead.
Let faith be my shield, and let joy be my steed
‘Gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed;
And let me set free, with the sword of my youth
From the castle of darkness, the power of the truth.
