The Expositor's Greek Testament says: "Christ indeed is Savior of the body, and that the husband is not; nevertheless the question of obedience is not affected thereby; for all that, as the Church is subject to Christ, so too are wives to be subject to their husbands." Johnson says: "The relation of the wife to the husband is like that of the church to Christ, a close, tender relation, in which there is no bondage [slavery], but freedom, because the service is that of the heart." Compare 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 and notes.
