Marriage Lesson 2

Intro: Song of Solomon

Unpreachable book the visual descriptions would be improper for young ears

Purpose of the Book

The entire Bible is Christocentric

Last week we discussed . And while the whole passage talks about husbands and wives, it was really speaking about Christ and the Church.

That being said, If God want to make the illustration of what our relationship with Him should be, we should not be surprised to find teaching on what a marriage should look like.

The Song of Songs is a great example of the love between a man and a woman.

While we won’t go into great detail for that sake of time and blushing, we will dig through to find things to apply to our marriages.
