How do we know the belief in male headship is true?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture affirms the male headship in marriage, illustrating it through the relationship of Christ and the church.

The doctrine of male headship in marriage is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 5:23, where it states that the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. This comparison shows how God has ordained an order within the marriage relationship that serves to reflect the greater spiritual reality of Christ's headship over His people. The acknowledgment of this headship is not merely a cultural preference but is grounded in the creation design as understood through Genesis and reinforced by New Testament teachings. The effectiveness of this divine order in the marital relationship brings glory to God and promotes harmony and stability.
