This Friday, February 1st, we continue our monthly Marriage Ministry series looking at the book of Solomon. These seminars are for premarital couples and newlyweds to long-married couples. Whether your marriage is in great shape or needs some fine tuning, everyone can benefit.
What makes a wife think
highly of her husband? According to the
Song of Solomon 1:3, we learned that the character of a man, his reputation of
honesty and integrity, a man who keeps his word, causes a wife to be attracted
to her husband. In verse 4, the bride states that his reputation is good and well-deserved,
others are right about him!
Your oils have a pleasing fragrance,
Your name is like purified oil;
therefore the
maidens love you. - Song of Solomon
1:3
When a wife feels
protected, secure and loved, she can rest in the shadow of the tree that he is.
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
so
is my beloved among the young men.
In his shade I took great delight and sat
down,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste. - Song of Solomon 2:3
The husband describes his
wife as being beautiful, she treats him with respect.
A man looks for a wife to
show him respect, reverence and regard.
How beautiful you are, my darling,
How beautiful you
are!
Your eyes are like doves. - Song of
Solomon 1:15
However, let each man of you [without exception] love
his wife as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the wife see that she
respects and reverences her
husband [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates,
and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires
him exceedingly]. Ephesians 5:33 Amplified Bible
