IMO, marriages that are based on mutual trust and an equal partnership
is works better than either dominating the other.  Not sure the bible
even says to dominate.  It tends to separate the men's and women's role
in marriage, but not to say that one dominates the other.  The only
place where it almost suggests dominate was where Paul stated women
should be quiet in church, but I have been led to the conclusion that
that was a situational/circumstantial commandment for a particular
church who was having a problem with some women during the services.  I
could be wrong.  But as Jesus said little about women and men's roles in
marriage, I will take that to mean that that is for us to decide and not
this works best in all cases.
