"The head of a woman is the man."—1 Cor. 11:3 Because of the rebellion of our first parents, the perfect situation in the garden of Eden was lost. ????????? (Romans 5:12) That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned—" ????????? But the headship arrangement remained in effect. When properly followed, it brings great benefit and happiness in marriage. ?????????

In showing honor to one another take the lead.” (Rom. 12:10) ????????? Also, both husband and wife should work hard to “become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another.”—Eph. 4:32. ????????? w10 5/15 2:4, 5 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2010362
