It seems like you are saying that Paul is simply stating the obvious about people’s “status”.

Yes, in the case of SUBJECTION (which is in the passive voice)
(BTW CLEAVE of verse 31- directed to husbands- is also in the passive voice)

No, in the case of LOVE (which is in the active voice and imperative mood, ie iis a command)

Voice/Mood/etc can be easily viewed here for all the verbs of Ephesians 5. http://interlinearbible.org/ephesians/5.htm The second line in blue of the interlinear. Move the mouse over the abbreviation.
