ROMANCE Q&A
Question #1. Does God care how we relate to one another sexually?
Answer #1. The Song of Songs, though full of spiritual meaning and application, provides an excellent description of God’s intention for a husband and wife’s sexual relationship. According to Solomon, the man has the freedom to enjoy his wife’s body, and the woman has the freedom to enjoy his. This sensual book offers several key ideas on how to be a great lover.
First, Solomon readily praised his beloved. He told her how beautiful she was with vivid and picturesque language. I often ask the husbands at our Weekend to Remember marriage conferences, “When was the last time you wrote your wife a love letter that praised her and told her how beautiful she is?”
Second, Solomon was romantic. His poetic words describe his beloved’s entire body as a source of delight. Few husbands have an easy time being romantically creative, but the rest of us need help in this area.
Third, Solomon’s focus was physical. A wife may be tempted to resent her husband’s sex drive and physical focus, but she should understand that a man is stimulated by sight much more than is a woman. God designed him this way deliberately!
