Yes and no. Commandments of God are for everybody.
But not every single commandment of God applies to YOU specifically, necessarily. For example, the commandments given to wives dont apply to husbands and vice versa. Children are given different commandments as well, to obey and respect their parents.
In the old covenant some laws were given only to the levites, not for the rest of Israel. There are also certain commandments given to rich people which if you aren't wealthy would not apply to you.
There are some commandments in the Bible that are situational, for example Noah is told to build an Ark, but that does not apply to us obviously since there will never be another flood like that, as God promised.

That commandment is for everyone, but what about the following verse calling husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and verse 20, where we're all called to submit to each other? As much as husbands serve the needs of their wives, God raises them up to provide direction for the family in all the big decisions. That biblical teaching is Paul's answer to unbiblical male domination and present-day individualism that often tears marriages apart.

One must also consider what is said in the 10th Chapter of Mark:
6But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
