Relationship Between a Husband and Wife

Ephesians 5:22-32 - instructions to husbands and wives
Colossians 3:18-25 - Rules for Christian Households
1 Peter 3:1-7 - instructions to husbands and wives
Hebrews 13:17 - the context gives me the impression that it is telling the members of the congregation to obey their church leaders (e.g. elders); but I wonder, if the church is to obey the elders, should a wife not obey her own husband even more so?
Titus 2:3-5 - older women teach the younger women to be submissive to their own husbands
Genesis 2:24 - leave parents and become one flesh
Genesis 3:16 - Eve's punishment for eating the forbidden fruit.
Genesis 12:11-20 ; Genesis 20 - Sarai obeyed Abram, even when instructed to tell a half truth.
Genesis 16 - Abram and Sarai loved each other very much. They each wanted the other to be happy, even if it meant giving up something they considered to be their's.


So far I've looked up various forms of obey, submit, subject, and rule.
Other words to look up:
wife
wives
husband
husbands
authority
specific examples: Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca
