The Song of Solomon

 

The Song of Solomon

The plot centers on King Solomon’s love for a humble maiden. Courtship leads to marriage and then to the joys and trials of married love. This book is a beautiful presentation of the love of husband and wife, for the Jews accepted sexuality as a precious gift from God, a holy expression of true commitment in marriage, a celebration of two souls united in marriage. It is also an expression of the love relationship between believer and Savior.

The expression “Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases” is an exhortation to abstain from sex before marriage. Sex, then is a jewel that must await the right setting.

The Song reminds us that with God, all things are possible (I Cor. 13) even marital love in a culture where marriage has fallen on hard times.

Even after the husband and wife have left the earth, the lasting influence of a strong marriage inspires future generations. For husband and wife to carefully identify and prayerfully address problems as they arise is one secret to a strong marriage. It is also a way to stoke the intimacy fires for a lifetime.
