I suggest you put down the latest best seller and try reading straight from the good book.

For anyone who believes these concepts only come from the Old Testament, here are some of the words of Paul:
1 Corinthians 11
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

11 Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Not a lot of room for (mis)translation.
with all these verses, one must keep in mind that Christians believe that Jesus committed the ultimate sacrifice for man and following that example means constantly sacrificing ones self for your wife.
