“Comps believe that her responsibility is to give up her independent life and to rely on her husband for all spiritual decisions.”

For the most part, that is exactly what happened after the fall throughout the OT except for a few wonderful examples that go against the ingrained patriarchal culture.

In any event, I cannot seperate the spiritual from anything else. Following him out of Eden had no spiritual componet for Eve?
Eve was also told to be fruitful and multiply BEFORE the fall.Now she has increased pain but she was also given some good news from God of bringing forth a child who would crush the serpent. She had motivation to endure the pain.

As gengwell said earlier, it takes two to tango. Eve wrongly turning toward Adam instead of God, gave Adam the power to rule over her in the first place.
