How do we know the concept of headship in marriage is true?

Answered in 1 source

The concept of headship in marriage is supported by biblical passages that show Christ as the head of the Church and the husband as the head of the wife.

The doctrine of headship in marriage is rooted in Ephesians 5, where Paul illustrates the relationship between Christ and the Church as a model for marital relationships. Just as Christ is the head of the Church, husbands are called to be the head of their wives, providing loving leadership and spiritual care. This dynamic is not one of dominance but of sacrificial love and service, intended to reflect the unity and dependence found within the body of Christ. Understanding this headship is crucial for both spouses as they navigate their roles in marriage, as it exemplifies the design God has for this covenant relationship.
