@224 gengwall,
You said:

In Titus, wives are instructed to philandros their husbands, not agapao. I’m afraid you have fallen into the “rely on the English translation” trap. So actually, my statement is quite true.

You are right. That is my fault. I apologize for translating it in my head to “love”. I blame it on my tired existence as this renovation/addition progresses. I have heard so many people say that the Bible never tells women to love their husbands, that I just grazed over what you were trying to say and thus gave a wrong answer. Please forgive me for that.

Now let me try once again with my brain more alert. While the Bible never directly says that words that wives are to agapao their husbands, yet it also directly says that all of us are to agapao one another. Romans 13:8, John 13:34 are just some examples and Eph 5:2 says that we are to walk in agape. Thus we know for sure that wives are to agapao their husbands because all of us are to agapao each other.
