Submission in marriage is for both, and signifies our submission to our head, who is Christ. Because of the temptation and Fall of mankind through the woman first, God set the order of authority this way. He is the Savior, not the man, however - so we all are subject to Him as the bride of Christ (the Church, all regenerated believers).
Ephesians 5:22-24
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
