Is it right for a woman to be more Christian or spiritual than a man or the other way around?

How about in a family?

So, finally, as I conclude the question, should a particular sex be more spiritual and Christian than another?
 
Scripture is pretty clear on who is the Spiritual head of the family (house). Even if one is dating the man needs to be the Spiritual head of the relationship and both need to be evenly yoked. It doesn't mean he dominates the women, but that both are on mutual grounds.

Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
 
What determines how spiritual one is? Walking with God or gender?
Is an unbelieving man more spiritual than his believing wife?

Submission does not have anything to do with who is more spiritual.
 
Gal_3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Gods will for woman was to be a helpmate to the man in every way, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, socially and physically. She was also created to bare the generations to come. A woman was not greater or less than the man, but was his equal. How can an unbelieving man be more Spiritual than the women if he walks in unbelief, that would make no sense. If two are not equally yoked, whether they be born again or not, then they have no business contemplating marriage. A mutual ground always needs to be established while dating that the two are compatible mentally, emotionally, socially, physically and if both Spiritually born again then Spiritually having Christ in the center of there relationship.
