I prefer not to proof text Scripture. It is easily manipulated to make one's point, although it appears easier to discuss Scripture in that way.

I would prefer to use themes or arcs of Scripture to explore our thinking.

The article about being made in the image of God is interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

We can explore eros, philia, storge and agape if you want. I don't think it takes away from love being beautiful. Marriage expresses all of these types of love. My husband and I enjoy each of them in our marriage.
