Based on a misunderstanding of the term “the Christ”, basically this is how the complementarian reads Eph 5:

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head (authority) of the wife AS Christ, (who is God with authority) is the head (authority) of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, (who is God with authortiy) so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
