Contextual Overview
21subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ. 22The wives: [subject yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the LORD, 23because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the Assembly, and He is Savior of the body, 24but even as the Assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives [subject] to their own husbands in everything.25The husbands: love your own wives, as the Christ also loved the Assembly, and gave Himself for it, 26that He might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying, 27that He might present the Assembly to Himself in glory, having no spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; 28so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife—he loves himself; 29for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and nurtures it, as also the LORD—the Assembly, 30because we are members of His body, [[of His flesh, and of His bones.]]

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ,.... Her head, being wholly dependent upon him, and entirely resigned to him, and receiving all from him; from whom alone is all her expectation of provision, protection, comfort, and happiness; wherefore she has respect to all his commands, and esteems all his precepts concerning all things to be right; and yields a cheerful, voluntary, sincere, and hearty obedience to them; arising from a principle of love to him, and joined with honour, fear, and reverence of him:
so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything: political, domestic, and ecclesiastic; that is consistent with the laws of God, and the Gospel of Christ.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In everything - In everything which is not contrary to the will of God; see the notes on Ephesians 5:23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 24. In every thing. — That is, every lawful thing; for it is not intimated that they should obey their husbands in any thing criminal, or in any thing detrimental to the interests of their souls. The husband may be profligate, and may wish his wife to become such also; he may be an enemy to true religion, and use his authority to prevent his wife from those means of grace which she finds salutary to her soul; in none of these things should she obey him.
