The short answer to this question is yes, wives should submit to their husbands AND husbands should submit to their wives (Eph. 5:21). Throughout scripture we see this male-female mutuality, and here in the discussion on submission in Ephesians 5:18-32, the topic begins with “submit one to another.”  Like we say, “I ran to the store and back,” meaning “I ran to the store, and I ran back from the store,” this passage reads literally in Greek, “submit one to another, wives to husbands,” intending to keep the thought together and using the one verb “submit” for both wives submitting to husbands and husbands submitting to wives. Ephesians 5:21 teaches all Christians should submit to one another. The passage then delves into details, which are surprisingly subversive.
