Has God maintained that the husband is to be the head of the woman throughout human history?
Yes. Scripture indicates God has maintained throughout human history that the husband is head of the woman. This order was ordained by God, not as slave mastery, but according to His created order: He created Adam first and later formed Eve from Adam.
Les explains that Eve was in Adam at creation, and God later created the woman out of Adam. Because of that created order, God has maintained all the way up through human history that the husband is to be the head of the woman. Les stresses this is not as a slave master, but in the order of God's things, ordained by virtue of God creating the man and then the woman.
