In Genesis, Sarah laughed out of skepticism. She had long passed menopause (she was 90 years old). God intervened to ask why she did not trust God to do this so God gave a deadline to confirm what he had said. The word "Lord" (Kurios in the Greek). This word carries master/leader in this context. This word indicates a sense of respect to which Sarah eventually came regarding Abraham. This is the essential argument running from verse one. Jami, thanks for your comments.

I wholeheartedly agree that there should be no fear or "terror" in the marriage. But in my Bible, the cross refernce to this is Genesis 18:12, where Sarah actually laughs at the idea of becoming pregnant, and it seems that she calls Abraham "lord" sarcastically. And we see she is scared of God and denies that she laughed! How does this fit with this scripture in 1 Peter? It seems like a very unlikely verse to support what Peter is saying!
