Man is meant to be in submission to Christ as well as love his wife and the woman is supposed to be in submission to Christ as she submits to her husband who carries a delegated authority for the sake of God's will in the home.
Where God's spirit has a free reign, they will both be in submission to one another in the fear of the Lord (Ephesians 5:21). Philippians 2:6 - 8 also shows Jesus in submission to the Father. This picture shows the redemptive process going on within marriage. When the husband and wife come into alignment with Christ's love andsacrifice, the dominion mandate will be fully restored. The woman's influence will bring alot of good to the man's life and the love of the man will minister security to the woman to enhance her and help her to be all God wants her to be.
"Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband." Ephesians 5:33
