What does the Bible say about the roles of men and women?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ is the head of every man, man is the head of woman, and God is the head of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:3).

The roles of men and women are clearly defined in Scripture, particularly in 1 Corinthians 11:3, where it states, 'But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.' This hierarchy is not meant to devalue women but to illustrate the order created by God. It reflects the relationship between Christ and His Church, demonstrating that just as Christ is the head of the Church, so the man is the head of the woman. However, this does not imply that the man is independent of the woman, as both are interdependent in the Lord (1 Corinthians 11:11).
