Well it was just a suggestion for any future personal attacks on my character. If you don't like the comparison maybe skip the personal attacks?

As for what I was getting at, friends might love each other but it's always been a love that is less than what I have for my partner. So the line in the Bible to me is expressing a sort of ultimate love that would be hard to top. If two friends loved each other that much how could they love their spouses more?
