Women in Christianity

We hear in the Middle East many accusations to women that they are created from a crooked rib and if we want to fix it, it will be broken! In the Holy Bible, it is mentioned that Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. )Genesis 1:31(. She was made perfect human being and was brought to Adam.

Other people claim that Christianity also commands men to rule over women.  Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.   For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church.  (Ephesians 5: 23) Yet, they ignore the rest of the chapter where St. Paul talks about love  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her  (Ephesians 5: 25) it si a matter of love and sacrifice and not ruling over.
 
St. Paul said in (Colossians 3:18-19)  Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.  This is how he sees a Christian home full of love and sacrifice. 
 
People can be easily subject to governors; workers are subordinate to the employer, but they don t have to love them. However, love commandment is much stronger than submission. Thus, men have to exert more effort than women in this relationship.  Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. (1 Peter 3:7)
An[a] excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones. (Proverbs 12: 4)
