The temptations to sin, which according to Scripture most people (everyone) does,I agree but the issue you raise occurs when there is an unequal yoke.
My response...
There are many verses that confirm this fact, not just one.
God does not treat the wife and husband in marriage the same.
They have different functions physically and spiritually.
Who are we to say what is fair.
He chooses 12 men to lead the church.
He loves and values all alike but has the prerogative to distribute gifts as He wills and appoint who He wills.
No man or woman should assume to be His counsellor.
That is not what it says, as I demonstrated to you; it is too bad you refuse to understand simple basic bible verses.You can interpret that as you wish. But it is your interpretation. Don't confuse your interpretation of what the Bible says with what it actually says.
What it actually says is the husband is the head of the wife, not the household.

Here it is in plain English.
For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. Ephesians 5:23 (NRSV)
But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the husband is the head of his wife, and God is the head of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:3 (NRSV)
You cannot show me a verse in the New Testament that says the husband is or should be the head of the HOUSE. Neither he nor his wife care called the head of the children, or the head of the slaves. Yet clearly they are in authority over both the children and the slaves.
I don't think "head" is a reference to authority.
In the garden he did. Both got the same mandate to have dominion. (Genesis 1:28) There is not mention of anything resembling inequality until the fall.
The temptations to sin, which according to Scripture most people (everyone) does,
is common to all men worldwide,
yoked properly/'equally' or not.
Some (most?) choose to disobey ABBA, according to Scripture.
Do you not know that we are to judge angels—to say nothing of ordinary matters? 1 Corinthians 6:3 (NRSV)
I deny the error of male superiority, and the idea that as Christians our inter-personal relationships should be dominated by the same ungodly and wayward principles as we see in the world. Our relationships are based not on power but sacrifice. We come to one another in weakness. As fellow servants.
In case anyone is wondering what this supposed "biblical marriage" we are all supposed to return to looks like:
(Women had even less status in areas of Greece, so this description of Rome is actually pretty liberal by comparison, but the family structure is the same.)
Ancient Roman Family Life
But not everyone is unsure. I'm very confident in my position. I don't need to back away from that confidence because not everyone shares it.
Spiritually? I disagree. You have no scriptural support for such a statement.
He is also tasked with being a servant leader.The moment things become about power there's already a problem in the family dynamic.
The moment the husband thinks he's the boss, it's dysfunctional already. The husband isn't the boss, he's a partner. And is tasked with submitting to and loving his wife and children, and being a servant to his family in humble and lowly imitation of Christ who gave His life for the Church.

This refers to cultural marriage not scriptural marriage. Paul never advocated domination in marriage but he did advocate male leadership.
That is in our redeemed state in the resurrected life.

Yes I do, unlike other nations Israel had no female priests. This was a spiritual function reserved for men.

It is a logical fallacy to assume that because part of a group (the 12 apostles) were all male, that the whole of the group (all Christian leaders for all time) is also male. That is an error in logic. (Composition fallacy.)
