God is a God of order and His purpose is that His kingdom would be reflected within your marriage. The Triune God (The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) mirrors a hierarchy in which the Son (Jesus) submits to his Father and the Holy Spirit submits to Jesus. It is orderly and it acts as a template for marriage. God’s design for marriage was intended to be a reflection His government.
Woman Was Not Created to Rule over man
God created Adam to have dominion over all that was made (Genesis 1:26) but for him, there wasn’t a helper suitable which was the first of all God’s creation that He found NOT GOOD (Genesis 2:18,20). He fashioned Eve from one of Adam’s ribs and gave her to him as a helper (Genesis 2:21-22.) Creating your husband to have all dominion and authority in his home, it is you that He gave to your husband to help him.
This is God’s design for marriage!
Typically when fighting ensues in marriage, it is because God’s hierarchy is out of kilter. Point blank—the fighting BEGINS and ENDURES because God DID NOT create you to rule over your husband. Your husband, created to have dominion and authority will fight with you to win his God-given authority over you (whether he is saved or not / whether he knows it or not).
