Why did God ordain the husband to be the head of the woman?

God ordained the husband as head because He created Adam first, with Eve in Adam, and later formed the woman out of Adam. This establishes God's order: the husband is head of the woman, not as a slave master, but according to the order by which God created man and then woman.

Les teaches that Eve was in Adam at creation, and the woman was later created out of Adam. Therefore, God has maintained all the way up through human history that the husband was to be the head of the woman. This headship is not as a slave master, but in the order of God's things; it is the way He has ordained it by virtue of His creating the man, and then the woman.
