What does the Bible say about the role of men and women in marriage?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, promoting a structure of loving leadership and submission.

According to Scripture, specifically in Ephesians 5:22-24, the husband is the head of the wife, and wives are to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord. This reflects a model of Christ's relationship with the church, where He is the loving leader. The husband’s role is to love and protect his wife, providing for her as Christ does for the church. Paul emphasizes that it’s not about dominance, but rather a relationship of mutual respect and provision. Men are called to embody the love of Christ in their leadership, while women, though equal in dignity and worth, fulfill their God-given role of supporting their husbands to maintain harmony in the home.
