So, this thread was started in order to answer
@Sean Miller s comment about the wrath of God and how husbands are to example that to their wives. My response to that was that the wrath of God is never to those within covenant or within the household. Only to those without.
For those who have trouble doing a simple word search, I took the liberty of listing every mention of the word wrath in the New Testament.

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
To them who by patient continuance in welldoing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
But
unto them that are contentious,†and do not obey†the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Romans 4:13. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world,
was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
For if they which are of the law
be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Because
the law worketh wrath: for where no law is,
there is no transgression.
Romans 5:9&10. Much more then,

What if†God, willing to shew
his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering
the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 13:3,4. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God,
a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject,
not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these
; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved

us up together, and made
us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus:
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in
his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 4:26-32.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Neither give place to the devil.
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with
his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.†.
Let no†corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Lie not one to another,†seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
And have
put on the new man,which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
