A woman's role from Genesis 2 is to be a 'helpmate', not a servant so sadly your understanding is wrong from the very beginning of God's word and it obviously hasn't improved. Paul also told us to submit ourselves to one another so how do you reconcile that? whenever a woman is told to submit to a man it is in the context of the family and marriage not anything else. That is why they are all reference to Adam and Eve because Adam and Eve were the original marriage and the original family.
You can't even properly identify who the bride of Christ is because it isn't the church. if Christ is the head of the church why would you marry himself?

I must say I've never seen so much dependency on man's interpretation.
I do see comparisons to of marriage as Christ loves the church. However these are comparisons, not symbols. Never have I seen any such symbolism in the NT.
I do see, though, in Eph 5, that there's one little paragraph to the woman's submission, while there's a large paragraph telling the men how to treat their wives! Why so much for the men?
Roman men treated their wives as second-class citizens.
Jewish women were no better.
These are the reasons why Paul taught the men more than the women, because their environments were harsh against women.
The truth is, there's more scriptures telling the men how to act than the women. It was just the opposite.
Women are still treated unfairly, with the church taking the lead.
It's perfectly alright for a woman to be a CEO of a company, telling thousands of men what to do. The church never says that's wrong.
It's only outlawed in the "house of God".
According to "some christian men", a woman can minister outside the church, to anyone, as long as they don't do it in the church.
Excuse me for being suspicious, but something's rotten in Denmark.
I cannot see my God forgiving every christian of their sins, destroying the curse of sin on us, & after all that, holds part of sin's curse over the woman's head, keeping her as a second class citizen of Heaven.
Did Jesus die for the woman's freedom as well as the man's?
Don't tell me Jesus could only save the woman with limited ministry & benefits. That's absurd.

Roman men treated their wives as second-class citizens.
- Roman law placed a wife under the absolute control of her husband, who had ownership of her and all her possessions.
- He could divorce her for any reason.
- Neither Greek or Roman wives were allowed to speak out in public.
Jewish women were no better.
- Jewish women were barred from public speaking.
- The oral law prohibited women from reading the Torah out loud.
- Synagogue worship was segregated, with women never allowed to be heard at all.

What you see in 1st Corinthians 14 is based on your eisegesis, and not on proper hermeneutical exegesis.
You are reading your predispositional bias into the text rather than studying and finding out what the text is actually saying. The links I posted would have helped you but apparently you don't want to learn.
Very few Greek exigetes support your point of view.
