O.K. This is what I got from the OP... His wife doesn't want to submit to him because he isn't on the same spiritual level she is... I'm taking it as he doesn't speak in tongues and she does and until he does she doesn't feel that she should have to submit to him.
So how far off am I in my take on the original post?
Sounds to me like you both need to go and have a talk with your Pastor to help you sort out this issue. Because we are all on a different level spiritually and hopefully we are all growing in Christ. I don't think personally it is a prerequisite to be on the same spiritual level to obey the directions and examples given in the Bible. Husbands to love their wives and a wife to respect her husband should be an everyday occurrence as in two become one flesh and are a part of each other.
I also suggest you start having daily Bible reading and devotions together and place God in the center of your relationship and pray together. I have never spoken in tongues and don't believe it would make me any closer to God than I am now and don't believe my husband has ever spoken in tongues either and I don't consider either one of us heathens for not doing so...
God loves you both very much and I hope and pray that you will seek help with your Pastor to sort this out as marriage should be something your love being in. God bless as you seek help for your situation.

Wow a bunch of you here seem like jobs friends......Go ahead hate me for that comment your already forgiven.
Her understanding of the gift of tongues is in err..I agree but that's not the issue.
The issue is in the challenge and the response to the challenge.
Notice this thread blew up the minute ones opinion instead of God's word came into play. (Jobs friends).
All of us have had arguments with our spouses...how was it resolved... was it....taking sides will not resolve anything it just makes it worse.

is this the first time i hoped we were being trolled?
(possibly not. close, though. otherwise it's too sad.)
but y'all! i so enjoy it when we all come together as a Family.
musical interlude? lol
♫ Loving, joyful, peaceful, patient
Kind and good, and full of faith
Self-controlled and gentle
Oh, the heart of heaven beats this way ♪ ♪
"I know sometimes this heart of mine
Beats only for itself
Full of hopes and dreams, and plans of progress
But this heart beating here in me
Belongs to Someone else
He bought it with His life to show His love
This is my prayer, Lord, today
Let this heart beat Your way"

Bob Dylan, originally, was a folk singer. He played an acoustic guitar. He became huge in the folk scene. (Bob Dylan. No kidding, huh?) And then he being him decided to go electric.
Fans were furious. They called him Judas.
I'm sorry. I cannot believe someone can be married to anyone for 4.5 years and have no clue what "Apostolic blahblahblah" means. You don't marry someone until you know what the person believes, unless it has to do with a drunken lost weekend scenario.
So, excuse me for going the easy way out, but I'll let Bob's words explain what I think of the OP.
