“If you agree that you will not accept comp theology without an explicit statement in Gen 1-3, then please explain how you reconcile the rest of the Bible. After all, not once, is there a statement “husbands submit to your wives”.”

This has likely been said numerous times before….

Everyone means every person. Ephe. 5:21 means that every person is to willfully of their own choosing arrange themselves under every other person in the body of Christ. And they are to do so in the fear, awe and respect of Christ who died so that we might have life and be considered part of His Body, His Bride. How we do this looks different for the differing relationships we have with people. But it is always arranging ourselves under (hupo- under/tasso- arrange/menoi – plural passive, meaning at ones own instigation not having to be responding to another’s direction). As mature humans, hopefully maturing into the likeness of the perfect Human, Christ Jesus, we must freely and happily choose to be of a submissive, supportive and humble attitude toward each other.

This is the opposite of seeking to exercise authority over one another. To take authority over, no matter how benevolent and gracious, is a separating factor. One is above, the other is below. The Lord wants us to learn how to become attached to one another (same level), to need one another and to be so toward others that they are better with you than without you.
