Marriage is further taught in scripture, dominion is not. Dominion implies mastery over creation. Genesis states that after the fall, man will "eat bread by the sweat of your brow". Does this sound like mastery or slavery?
Either way the type of dominion I'm talking about is religious/political dominion.

Dominion is also here in Genesis 9:1
9 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. 2
The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.
This is after the fall, so obviously dominion was not forfeited by sin.
