You ask: “What as been asked by me and other commenters is for you to show where it is “apparent” in Eph 5:22 and all the other scripture you have read that supports your claim that the presence of eros in marriage constitutes the basis for hierarchy.”

Over the course of more posts than I wish to go back and count I sought to establish a common reference to begin the explanation.

You never seemed to understand the need for this so let me demonstrate something else:

The energy modes in the electrodynamics vacuum in a blackbody cavity are quantized. To prove this we note that the density of states for waves in a cavity is N(f)=(8*pi*f^2*c^-3); so that the energy density can be expressed as u(f,T)=N(f)*. From the equipartition theorem the average energy per mode for a continuum distribution of these modes is = kT. Therefore the total energy in the thermal radiation field should be u(f,T)=(8*pi*f^2*c^-3)*kT. But of course this implies that there is an infinite amount of energy in the field and that it is non-integrable which diverges strongly from all physical observations. If we accept as an axiom that E=n*h*f (n=0,1,2,…) then =(h*f)/(exp[hf/kT]-1). Inserting this into u(f,T)=N(f)* we see that this the integral of this is finite and moreover that the distribution matches what is observed in nature.

Now, presumably that made no sense to you, and perhaps you could come up with an example from your field which would be equally incomprehensible to me. And all of this is because their is no common reference and background. That would have to be established for what I just said to make sense. Even so, for me to explain an idea of ‘eros’ to you as a means to understand the husband/wife dynamic instructed in the Bible would require a common basis regarding the husband/wife dynamic to begin with. Since I could never even establish with you a common agreement about what the text says ( that Paul says different things to husbands and to wives – 391) there is really no possibility of getting much further.
Best of luck.
