I have to admit, this was a hard one for me. I really wanted to go to my regular bible and read the notes so I could understand. It was hard for me to follow the love poems without a little explanation. The underlying tone is all about love and sex, how powerful and important they are in our lives, and that’s how God made us. It’s not a bad thing! We are to be disciplined in keeping it in our marriage. The sanctity of the marriage is where God created it to be. A few key verses-Song of Songs 2:7 “Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.” SOS-8:6-7 “Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, it’s jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. 7Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.”
