Ephesians 5:22 says wives should submit to their own husbands, not to all men or all believers.
There is no way to interpret v23-24 as some kind of mutual submission without reinterpreting "submission" into meaninglessness. Although Christ gave his life for us, he is our unquestioned master without reservations. He doesn't submit to us in any way. Of course, no mere man is the equal of #yeshua who is the master of both husband and wife, so a husband's authority isn't absolute and doesn't exist solely for his benefit.

I listened to Scott’s series on marriage God’s way.
It is actually an outstanding series and is (in my view) completely biblical. And does a really good job explaining submission.
Unfortunately he is not a Torah teacher.
