Ephesians 5:23 - For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
In a family, maximum respect should be accorded to the man because he is the head of the family, just the same way Christ is the head of the church. The union between a husband and his wife is a depiction of Christ and the church. The bible identifies us as His bride.
The same authority Christ has over the church is the same a man should have over his wife. Any household whereby the relationship between the husband and the wife contradicts how Christ instructed will surely encounter problems. Sadly, there are couples whereby the wife exerts authority over the man, which is not supposed to be so.
A woman is meant to be under the man. Hence, she should submit to him. A woman who demeans her husband does not do the will of God. It doesn't matter if the woman is more financially capable of the man, he still remains the head of the family.
Ephesians 5:33 - Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
A woman should reverence her husband no matter the situation. When a woman disregards her husband, she is indirectly disregarding God and His commandments because the man was was put in position by God as the head. A woman should not disregard God's authority. And a man should love his wife unconditionally, just the same way he loves himself.
