When I was pondering NN’s eros hypothesis:

“The operation of eros within the marital relationship leads to an natural and God-made asymmetry of the relationship….”

Indeed! Women are the only ones who get pregnant, which is extremely asymmetrical. (Some factions of our egalitarian culture have ways of attempting to erase this particular asymmetry.)

SM (382) Yes, and the tone of some replies to him distressed me. Just because the Greek word never appears in Scripture, that does not mean the concept of eros has no bearing on understanding Ephesians 5. What does “one flesh” mean within marriage?
