Reasons against a physical love interpretation:
Eros (sexual love) is not found in Song of Songs.
If you teach is as a sexual book you’re turning a spiritual book into an immoral teaching.
Reasons against a friendship love:
The man is superior and perfect, man is not perfect, Christ is perfect
The woman in the book makes three major mistakes and has to change, that’s how we need to see ourselves. We make mistakes and have to change for Christ.
