That is my view as well. Men and women compliment each other. One is not to rule over the other but to serve them.
A man is placed at the head of the house hold to lead the the family by serving in their best interest. The statement fortune favors the bold is true. Most men are bolder then women and must go out to provide for the family. Women tend to be more conservative and less likely to take risks. Working together they temper each other so no excessive risk is taken by the man but he still goes out to earn for them.
What most people miss is that the man as the head of the household is there to serve.
Actually the man is to lay down his life for the wife and the wife is to submit (support) the husband. The problem with this administration is the lack of support for the men who are laying down their lives for them.
