Significance :
Headship of the man continues even after the fall.
(2) The woman is not the head of the man.
(a) The man is the head of the family
(for reasons previously discussed).
(b) The woman is subject (submissive) to the man
(i.e. man's headship role).
Ephesians 5:22-24
"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do
to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as
Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He
is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so
also wives should submit to their husbands in everything."
Colossians 3:18
"Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in
the Lord."
Insight :
Within God's design for the marriage and
home, there is equality of personhood yet with
differentiation of assigned roles. Role
differentiation does not imply inferiority,
only difference.
