How do we know the doctrine of male headship is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The doctrine of male headship is supported by Paul’s teachings in scripture, particularly in 1 Corinthians 11 and 1 Timothy 2.

The doctrine of male headship is rooted in the created order as described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:3-12 and 1 Timothy 2:11-14. Paul argues that man was created first and serves as the federal head of humanity. Adam’s creation prefaced Eve’s, and this establishes a divinely appointed order. Additionally, Paul explains that the man is not only the head of the woman but also reflects Christ's relationship to the church. This doctrine is not merely cultural; it is foundational to God's design and purpose for men and women within both the family and the church.
