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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible establishes male headship in marriage as part of God's created order in Ephesians 5 and Genesis.

Male headship in marriage is derived from scriptural principles laid out in Ephesians 5:22-24, where wives are instructed to submit to their husbands as the church submits to Christ. This concept highlights the husband as the head of the wife, paralleling the relationship of Christ with the church. Understanding male headship involves recognizing that God ordained this structure not for oppression, but for harmony and order, reflecting the roles established from the beginning in Genesis 2:24, where a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. This ultimately serves to glorify God and ensure the well-being of the family.
