If Genesis two is all about marriage's design, then Ephesians five is all about restoration and relationship.
Butchering Ephesians Five.
A lot of people (especially my more liberal Christian friends) will start at Ephesians 5:21 with “submit to one another” and stop right there. And this is where they get their view of marriage: that it is this two-headed beast, where man and woman submit to each other and no one is really the head.
