I think this is a beautiful scripture! God provides protects and loves us deeply, so it says to submit unto your husband and it say it 's as though you have into Christ! So I see this scripture as your husband will provide and protect you and love you deeply like Christ loves us! "It a good thing " so I say lets spoil our husbands if they are loving like Christ to us who wouldn 't want to submit to him.

The Bible is the word of God and therefore self explanitory

This scripture has been used by "some men" to force their wives into polygamy...Wives & husbands who were married under the vows of "forsaking all others".Wives should submit unto their husbands but husbands should not deceive or defraud their wives by using this scripture to demand that their wife submit unto polygamy

In modern societies, this seems to be a difficult verse to swallow for many. And it certainly doesn't mean unequal rights or that one person is dominating or dictating. But it's acknowledging different roles are ideal and most healthy in a relationship.
