Basically, you are wanting to know reason why Christ decided that "man is the head" and that's really a question that only Christ can answer since He is the one who designed it so. We really can't use general, secular reasons and apply them in this situation to explain or justify this.
In the "natural", this probaby does seem illogical - which is why this only works for those couples that are Christian and want to have a marriage as directed by Christ.
Maybe there is a thread of here that talks about this in "general" terms, so to speak. Let me search and see.

You said what I was basically going to say. In Christianity, God the Father God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit make up the Trinity. They are co-equal, but each has their own unique function. God the Son submitted him self to God the Father but it had nothing to do with him thinking less of himself and his role. He just had a different function.
I think that like HK said trying to make this make sense to a non Christian is probably fruitless. To tell the true it didn't make sense to me either when I was a babe in Christ. Only with me growing, studying the Word and really yeilding myself to the holy Spirit did it start to make sense.
