PS - All I meant by that statement was that......when a man is praising and glorying in the beauty of his wife and their love for each other......his primary concern is not, "ok, so I want to make sure that anyone who reads this will be able to understand some intricacies of the relationship between God and Israel" - He wasn't preaching a sermon to people out of one side of his mouth and praising his wife with the other. His focus is singular - praising God for His glorious creation of their love. It is inspired and holy and teaches a lot, but it is not a pastoral epistle!
