[Wisdom of Solomon] Keys to a Lasting Love

DÍA 3 DE 6

Till Death Do Us Part

Signing a legal document usually means that you are agreeing to its terms and it is now binding. It is permanent and official. You shouldn’t ever take this step lightly. Do not sign any document without reading the fine print.

Solomon and his wife had read the fine print. They knew what they were getting into and they were in it for the long haul. They knew it would at times be difficult but the love they had for each other and God would get them through.

The next key to a lasting love is to love each other deeply. In Song of Songs 8:6, we see that she says to set her as a seal upon his heart and a seal on his arm. A seal was saying that one is wholeheartedly committed. A seal is a sign of permanence. She was saying to her husband, I want you to treasure me in your affections and I want you to care for me with your strength. Lasting love is a wholehearted commitment. It requires your emotions and is evident by your actions. So, how do we put a wholehearted seal on a romantic relationship today? We seal it with a wedding ring. It is a public commitment before the world. That ring shows you belong to someone else and your affections are theirs too. If you are married and don’t wear your wedding ring, I encourage you to wear it. If you can’t find it, buy another one. Make sure every guy or girl knows that you are off-limits.

Have you ever wondered where we get the phrase, “Until death do us part?” It comes from the Bible.

Romans 7 tells us a wife is not released from her husband until her husband dies. Then, Romans 8 tells us that neither life nor death will separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. Love is stronger than death. There’s this jealousy that comes from such deep love. It should cause us to jealously protect our marriage. It is better to be rude than to seem romantically interested in someone who is not your spouse. You should only flirt with one person and that is your wife or husband. This biblical jealousy is a passion and desire for someone else that tolerates no rivals. We must, at all costs, set a seal on our hearts and arm to show that we are protecting this love, our marriage, at all costs. We know that God’s love protects us, it led to His taking on flesh and dying for us. That’s how much He loves you and me. Now, we reciprocate this love with our spouse.

As you do, be sure to jealously protect your marriage, trust God for help, value rightly, and walk purely and protectively. Together, you’ll build a lasting love and live happily ever after (most of the time).
