There’s also the commandments to believing wives of unbelievers to be silent and lead by example. 1 Peter 3:1–6

There is no commandment by Peter in those verses for the wives of unbelieving husbands not to present the Gospel to their husbands verbally. Peter says that the husbands can be converted by nothing more than the behavior of the wives but he doesn't tell the wives not to preach the Gospel to them. Peter could be suggesting that their conduct may be as persuasive as their words but the two are obviously not mutually exclusive.

That's a good point. They can tell their husbands, but they shouldn't nag. I didn't reread that passage today. here' is the scripture...

Peter 3:1 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, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
