The dominion assignment was given to both men and women.

One of the ways a woman can help the man to fulfill the vision is to give him respect. "Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband" (Ephesians 5:33). The woman is meant to bless, support, and honor the man, and the man is meant to be a head, a covering, and a protection for her. In this way, they are helping each other to be all they were created to be. Yet these purposes break down when the man and the woman don't know each other's needs.

For example, a man always wants to feel as if he has had some input into what has been accomplished; he wants to feel as if he is a leader. If you are a wife, try to make your husband feel that he has contributed significantly to your family's success. When you make a man feel that he is important to what has been accomplished-that he is the one responsible for, or that his input was necessary for, the success of something-then you will have somebody who serves you, because a man feeds on respect. However, if you make him feel unimportant, you will run into trouble. "Well, I don't need you anyway; I've already been doing this for ten years without you." When you communicate that kind of idea to a man, he will back further and further away from you. He may even go elsewhere, to someone who believes he is everything. That's the person he will stay with, or move in with, because that's the person who is fulfilling the needs of his hungering soul.

A man needs respect. This means that the worst thing you can do is to compare your husband to another male. Please don't tell your husband, "Why can't you be like our pastor?" or, "Why aren't you like So-and-so?" That's the most dangerous-and ridiculous-thing a woman can say to a man. Every man is his own being and has his own image of himself. Your job is to support him, even if he is not perfect, and to be an encouragement to him. You have to learn his nature and understand him. The eyes of the woman must be looking to the needs of her husband.
