Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So, husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. Ephesians 5:22-29

The devil had a demonic scheme to wreck the marriages of millions and the Divine Headship of the church with "Women's Lib!" From the beginning, God made man the head of a woman, but the devil also wrecked that plan as he tempted Eve in the garden!
The headship of the family is for the protection by the angels, but when the woman is elevated above the man, the devil has an open door to destroy and attack the children. Today, the church and the families are in shambles because someone was out of order.
God made man the stronger of the two for the woman's protection, as it was for the church whose Head is Christ! If Divine order is restored, marriages will heal, and the power and anointing will be poured out on the church, making it the supernatural entity God intended it to be!
For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 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 5:30-33
