Today's "Marriage" Scripture by Jason Hunt *February 7, 2009*
Song of Songs 7:1-9
How beautiful are your sandaled feet,
O queenly maiden.
Your rounded thighs are like jewels,
The work of a skilled craftsman.
O queenly maiden.
Your rounded thighs are like jewels,
The work of a skilled craftsman.
Your navel is perfectly formed
Like a goblet filled with mixed wine.
Between your thighs lies a mound of wheat
Bordered with lilies.
Like a goblet filled with mixed wine.
Between your thighs lies a mound of wheat
Bordered with lilies.
Your breasts are like two fawns,
Twin fawns of a gazelle.
Twin fawns of a gazelle.
Your neck is as beautiful as an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like the sparkling pools in Heshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is as fine as the tower of Lebanon
Overlooking Damascus.
Your eyes are like the sparkling pools in Heshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is as fine as the tower of Lebanon
Overlooking Damascus.
Your head is as majestic as Mount Carmel,
And the sheen of your hair radiates royalty.
The king is held captive by its tresses.
And the sheen of your hair radiates royalty.
The king is held captive by its tresses.
Oh, how beautiful you are!
How pleasing, my love, how full of delights!
How pleasing, my love, how full of delights!
You are slender like a palm tree,
And your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.
And your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.
I said, “I will climb the palm tree
And take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like grape clusters,
And the fragrance of your breath like apples.
And take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like grape clusters,
And the fragrance of your breath like apples.
May your kisses be as exciting as the best wine,
Flowing gently over lips and teeth.
Flowing gently over lips and teeth.
Some years ago April and I were on opposite sides of the proverbial bedroom. No matter what I did I couldn't get her attention. I realized I needed to appeal to her senses as well as her mind.
In Song of Songs; Solomon describes his bride in every detail. Eyes, hair, teeth, smile, lips, cheeks, neck, breasts, thighs, feet, naval, nose, head, slender (figure), breath. This is a man who has studied his woman. Solomon understood that a man has to desire to hear what his wife is saying without her words.
I became a student of my bride, I watched her and observed her every mannerism. When she licked her lips I would get her a drink--without her asking. I paid attention to her breathing as I touched her to discover what was most pleasing. If I upset her (more obvious to tell) I back tracked in my mind to understand how I had hurt her and apologized specifically for the offence. I began taking better care of myself, presenting myself to her in ways that appealed to her. Most of all, I dated my lady. I took her out, paid attention and made her my one and only desire. Eventually; I wasn't the only one who desired their beloved.
(Song of Songs 4:1-15)
Lord, thank You for creating chemistry in a marriage. Thank You for honoring faithfulness to Your word. I pray that You would strengthen men to desire their wives, not only for intimacy; but to sweep them off of their feet. I pray for each couple reading Your Word that they would feel like the bride and groom at the top of the cake. In the powerful Name of Jesus. Amen.
