NN,
You said:

(as a closing aside, may I ask what concept exactly you think is in view in the Song of Songs if it is not the specific romantic love between a husband and wife?)

I made no comment about eros in the Bible. I do concur that this word or the concept of eros is not within the context of Ephesians 5. What I think about the Song of Solomon is irrelevant to our discussion of Ephesians 5.
