A statement of a man's authority over his wife precedes a story of God taking vengeance on Midian in Numbers 30-31. Do you see the connection?
The authority a man has over his wife comes with an obligation to protect and provide for her. God's actions against Midian are an example for husbands. Exercise authority in your house. Defend your and your wife's honor, security, and home.

A father's authority is given once in Numbers 30. A husband's is given three times. Both relationships are important to God, but this fact would seem to indicate that God holds one to be greater than the other.
