Here, the command to love implies that the husband unselfishly does what is best for the wife, unselfishly serving or giving to his wife, following the example of Christ. Alternate translation: [sacrifice yourselves for your wives]
ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν
himself gave_over
Alternate translation: [allowed people to kill him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς
for her
Paul speaks of the assembly of believers as though she were a woman whom Jesus will marry. Alternate translation: [for us]
5:22-33 Christian wives are to submit to their husbands, showing them respect. Equally important, Christian husbands are to love their wives (see Col 3:18-19). Christian marriages become a reflection of the union and relationship between the Lord and the church.
