What does Ephesians 5:25 mean?
After addressing wives in verses 22 through 24, Paul switches focus to husbands. The first and foremost priority for a godly husband is to love his wife—with a particular emphasis on action. Paul also provides a high standard for the love a husband should express to his wife: the example of Christ for the community of believers. The husband's love should involve a deep, lifelong commitment and the willingness to make any sacrifices necessary on her behalf.Husbands are called to a level of dedication which includes love unto death. Though given authority as the leader of the family, the corresponding responsibility is often overlooked. A husband must love his wife, dedicate his life to staying with his wife, and be willing to die for his wife if need be. Women are obligated to submission in marriage (Ephesians 5:22–24), and the modern world often rejects this principle. Nevertheless, the Bible's standard for husbands could certainly use better application among today's Christian men, as they seek to be "imitators of God" (Ephesians 5:1).

Notice what it says "he shall save" Future tense. That's kind of goes against Calvinism right there. Since they claim to be saved before the world began.
And as for his people... They are the ones that will accept him by making a free will decision.

John 4:41–42
“Many more believed because of His word; and they were saying to the woman, ‘It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.’”
John wrote his gospel specifically to enable those who were exposed to his gospel “to believe that Jesus is the Christ” John 20:31
This goes along well with the confidence the New Testament generally expresses in the power of the gospel to save Romans 1:16
What saves us from sin according to the New Testament is not to be first regenerated by the Holy Spirit and then believe, but rather to hear the gospel and be challenged to respond to God’s gracious overtures. God’s desire is that all would respond positively to the gospel 1 Tim 2:4)
Before the gospels came to be written, Jesus appealed to his teaching and miracles as reasons to believe in him and his message. John 4:41–42
The story of the Samaritan Woman at the well explains this. Her testimony concerning Jesus, and Jesus’s own message and were as a result convinced of Jesus’s true identity. They heard, they believed—it’s as simple as that!

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

The word shall doesnt only denote a future tense, but a promise as well. Its in the indicative mood, do you know what that mood means ?

Exactly A future promise. That's how people get saved today by believing What Jesus did on the cross. That's a fact or you could say a mood used to express a fact.

Irresistible grace, or efficacious grace, is a third of the five points of Calvinism. This doctrine refers to the actual saving of fallen men by the Holy Spirit, in applying to them the redemption accomplished on the cross. This work of salvation is wholly the work of God; it takes place by grace alone. Negatively, this means two things. First, the salvation of a man is not something that any man deserves, or makes himself worthy of, in any way. Second, salvation is not a work that man accomplishes, in whole or in part. Man does not co-operate with God in bringing about his salvation. Positively, that salvation takes place by grace alone means that salvation is freely given to men by God, merely out of His love and goodness. Also, it means that this salvation is accomplished by God's power, the Holy Spirit. He regenerates; He calls; He gives faith; He sanctifies; He glorifies. This work of saving and the power of grace by which the Holy Spirit performs this work are efficacious. In carrying out this work, the Spirit and His grace do not make a man's salvation possible, but effectually save him. It is not on the order of a mere attempt by God that depends, ultimately, on the man whom God tries to save and that may, therefore, be frustrated and come to naught; but it is on the order of a work of creation that sovereignly and unfailingly makes the man whom God is pleased to save a new creature in Jesus Christ.
It is not Calvinism, that God forces men, kicking and screaming, into heaven, but that God makes a man willing, who before was unwilling. In the Canons of Dordt, the Reformed believer describes the saving work of irresistible grace this way:

It's not "The gospel" it's just another "Theological systematic". There's TRUTH in it, and there's Error, as there is in man's theologies in general. Better to ignore the "Isms, and let the Bible be the guide.

Thats how the unregenerate respond to truth. Rom 8:7-8Acts 7:51 utterly destroys this myth of Calvinism in a big ball of fire!

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Its the Gospel, pay attention to whats being stated.
I see that you're willing to slander Acts 7:51 as being associated with the "flesh" and a "carnal mind" because it doesn't align with your TULIP myths. This is so typical of calvinists to do so.

The doctrine of the perseverance of saints, or "eternal security," as some call it, follows from the truth of irresistible grace. Not one person to whom God gives the grace of the Holy Spirit will perish, because that grace and Spirit preserve him unto the perfect salvation of the Day of Christ.
It is not Calvinism, that one may do as he pleases and still be saved, or that a saint can never fall into sin. Against the charge that the doctrine of perseverance implies that one may do as he pleases and still go to heaven, Calvinism replies that the Holy Spirit preserves us by sanctifying us, by strengthening our faith, and by giving us the gift of endurance. As for the "melancholy falls" of Christians, the saints can, and sometimes do, fall into sin, even "great and heinous sins," but the indwelling Spirit, never wholly withdrawn from them, brings them to repentance. Calvinism imparts to all true believers the inestimably precious comfort of the "certain persuasion, that they ever will continue true and living members of the church; and that they experience forgiveness of sins, and will at last inherit eternal life" (Canons of Dordt, V,9).
All of the salvation described above has its source in God's eternal election. The truth of election is another of the characteristic Calvinistic doctrines. God has from eternity elected, or chosen, in Christ, some of the fallen human race - a certain, definite number of persons - unto salvation. This choice was unconditional, gracious, and free; it was not due to anything foreseen in those who were chosen. Reprobation is implied. God did not choose all men; but He rejected some men, in the eternal decree. It makes no essential difference whether one views reprobation as God's passing by some men with His decree of election in eternity (which is, in fact, a Divine decision about their eternal destiny), or whether one views it as a positive decree that some men perish in their sin, their unbelief and disobedience. Election and reprobation make up predestination, the doctrine that God has determined the destiny of all men from eternity. This truth is regarded, not inaccurately, as the hallmark of Calvinism. The very heart of the Reformed Church is election, God's gracious choice of us sinners, guilty and depraved, worthy only of damnation, unto salvation.
