We are not supposed to serve our wives?
If Paul had only said - love each other it would have been so much clearer....
Og course how was he supposed to know that there was going to be so many literalists in the future

Love your wives as Christ loved the church, Jesus said He did not come to be served but to serve. So yes the husband is to also serve his wife, BUT the man is responsible for certian things and the woman is responsible for others, the man has to answer for the both of them, (see adam in the garden), So you are responisble for your wife, that doesn't mean you can't get her advice, it means the buck stops with you.
You are both supposed to give 100%, BUT the percent your spouse gives does not effect the percent you give, it is the command of God to do this. Paul gives an example of a wife of an unbelieving husband winning him without a word by her submission. Yes it is easier if the other spouse does the same, do not be yoked with an unbeliever, but if you are, or you get fooled into marrying one, tough cookie. That is what the scripture says anyways.
