Contextual Overview
21Be honorable and reverent to each other out of your love for Christ.
22Wives, be honorable and reverent to your husbands just like you are to the Lord.
23A husband is the head of his family as Jesus is head of his outfit. He is the savior of his outfit.
24As the outfit is honorable and reverent of Christ, so you wives must be honorable and reverent to your husbands in everything.
25Husbands, love your wives as much as Christ loves his outfit (the church). Jesus gave his life up for it and you husbands must love your wives just as much.
26He did this to make us holy and clean. We've been washed in the cleansing river of God's word.
27Jesus did this so his outfit would be worthy of his love. He has made us without spot, wrinkle, or liver spot. His outfit will be perfect and without fault.
28Husbands must do the same for their wives. Loving his wife shows that he loves himself.
29No one should hate their own body, but feed it good food and care for it, just like Jesus does for his outfit.
30And we ride for his outfit.

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.
