Argument:Contrary to popular myth The Bible does NOT teach that the wife(woman) is subservient to the husband(man).

HE: lean, lean upon me SHE: love, love without desire REFRAIN: *Lean, lean each, upon the other SHE: My spouse my source **head, of we two HE: My helpmeet counter-part me REFRAIN: One flesh together he, and she with THEE * submit a physical act- to lean upon - we upon Jesus, in Jesus we lean each upon the other,in marriage the wife upon her husband ** head = source (as a spring is of a river) as Jesus is the head(source) of the body of Christ(the church) and the husband is the head(source) of the wife joined together as one upon marriage.
