About husband/wife relationship, "rule over thee", etc is mentioned in Genesis and is stated next to painful childbearing. It is fair to say that husband ruling over wife, being one of the first words spoken by God after Adam and Eve disobeyed, and given the context of the text, that husband ruling over the wife is intended as punishment. So, this is always going to be stuggle for wives (but obviously not if the husband is very agreeable) and consequently for hubands in their relationships. If husbands realize that women's inclination to be disagreeable is actually primarily a result of the Fall, I think they will be more understanding and efficient in dealing with their wives.
