Beloved: A Study in Song of SolomonНамуна

What does it say?
Solomon’s royal wedding party traveled to retrieve his bride. He praised her beauty, love, and purity. The couple then consummated their marriage.
What does it mean?
Today’s passage is a glimpse of a royal wedding day filled with the splendor of such an occasion. Remembering her previous insecurities, Solomon praised his bride’s physical appearance and character. He saw strength reflected both in her eyes and in her demeanor. She was perfect just as she was because he loved her. As was the custom, he affectionately referred to his wife as his “sister,” now affording her the same provision and protection. The enjoyment of the wedding night was heightened by their decision to protect their purity until marriage.
How should I respond?
Weddings are a multi-billion dollar industry. Most brides dream of a wedding day fitting of a princess, emphasizing the dress, venue, flowers, and food. While these things usually express the couple’s personalities, it’s more important for the character and commitment of the bride and groom to take center stage. Divorce statistics might change drastically if as many hours were spent planning the marriage as had gone into planning the wedding. Take a moment to write down your commitments regarding marriage. How do they line up with God’s Word? What insights have you gained that you could share with others today?
