If you are not married, then you are to mutually defer to one another as you are not bound in marriage yet and each are free to be their own "boss" as far as making decisions, choosing preferences, etc.
If you are married, you still are exhorted to mutually submit to one another in love, but with that, the man is the head of the woman. This includes loving her as Christ loves the church and sacrificed His life for her. This also means that the wife is to choose to be in submission to her husband, desiring to please him and be his helpmate as has been ordained since Eve sinned first and gave the fruit to Adam in Genesis 3.
If you are arguing over important decisions instead of praying about them together, I recommend being prayerful. If you are at odds for insignificant things that are presented as big things, then maybe you talk about taking turns choosing these minor things, like what to have for dinner, or chores, or choice of activity.
If this woman is simply argumentative and constantly insisting on things being her way. If she is emotionally manipulative or easily set off; If she verbally mistreats you with unkind words and belittlement; If you find in order to keep the peace you have to give into her; Then I would say that this is an unhealthy relationship, especially if she claims to know Jesus. Perhaps, if you are not married, it is best to go your own separate ways. If you are married, it may be time for counseling by a Christian equipped to counsel on marriage
I do suggest that you lay yourself before God and ask Him to show you the sinful ways you are contributing to the turmoil in this relationship. Be brutal on yourself and fully willing to see what God wishes to show You. He will help You overcome bad habits and personality tendencies that do not add to harmony between you and your mate. But this takes humility and determination to let the Holy Spirit change you into the man HE desires you to be, not who SHE wants you to be.
