What does the Bible say about marriage roles?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that wives should submit to their husbands, and husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church.

In Ephesians 5, the Apostle Paul outlines the roles within marriage, stating that wives should submit to their husbands as unto the Lord, and husbands are to love their wives sacrificially, mirroring Christ's love for the church. This reflects God's design for authority and mutual respect within the marital relationship. The submission of the wife is not a question of capability, but rather an acknowledgment of God's ordained structure for families, showcasing His sovereignty and governance. The importance of these roles is further emphasized by the parallel drawn between Christ's love for the church and the love that husbands should exhibit towards their wives.
