“NN article and quoted here re Eph 5:22: “And we see that in the marital relationship – when there is “Eros” that this leads to the specific instruction of the wife to submit to the husband AND the husband to take responsibility over this to exercise a sacrificial love to care for his wife.”

NN,
It doesn’t matter if there is ‘eros’ or not. Every Christian is admonished to love others in the same type of sacrificial love in which Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. This means that in all types of relationships, everyone, whether married or not is to love others in this way. Being married does not exclude the importance of living this type of unselfishness toward the spouse. Paul felt it important to say it over and over reminding us because it is important.

Ephe. 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
