Ephesians 5:23-27 because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His Body.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His Body. ²⁴ And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands. ²⁵ Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her; ²⁶ in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal water by the word, ²⁷ that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.
