Once Solomon’s wife renewed within her mind a right attitude and a loving perspective toward her husband, she went in search of Solomon. That’s why the daughters of Jerusalem asked,
Where has your beloved gone,
O fairest among women?
Where has your beloved turned aside,
That we may seek him with you? (Song 6:1)
She had a desire to find [...]
After reviewing the qualities of her husband as listed in Song of Solomon 5:10-16 Solomon’s wife concluded:
“He is altogether lovely. He is everything I want in a husband.”
God truly changed her heart, as her husband was kind in the face of wrong. In the light of her newly awakened awareness of all the good qualities [...]
These are some of Solomon’s features that his wife called to her mind and praised (see Song of Solomon 5:14-16):
He was strong in authority. A king’s position was often revealed by the side jeweled bands of gold that he wore on each arm, a sign of his strength in leadership over a nation, people, or [...]
These are some of Solomon’s features that his wife called to her mind and praised (see Song of Solomon 5:10-13):
He was pure in his motives and behaviors toward her. Repeatedly she referred to him as white, including white as ivory and white as marble.
He was extremely handsome—more handsome even than ten-thousand other men combined.
His [...]
One of the most effective responses I’ve ever heard given to a husband who erred in his behavior was one that a wife gave after hearing a sermon about Jesus and Pilate. Pilate said to Jesus, “Do you not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?” Jesus [...]
Early in our marriage, my wife was lying in bed one morning, and I said, “Teresa, get up and fix me some breakfast!” I was teasing her, but my words didn’t exactly come out in the teasing way that I meant for them to sound. At the same time I spoke those words, I picked [...]
Let’s continue from last week’s discussion about Peter’s charge concerning how we act in conflict. Such an attitude and means of resolving conflict begin with how you individually choose to respond to a situation. Will you allow your hurt to linger, fester, and grow, or will you give it to the Lord, ask [...]
In 1 Peter 3:1, 3-4, 7-8, Peter taught:
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands…Do not let your adornment be merely outward…rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God…Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with [...]
A Continued Pursuit in Love
Continuing from last weeks thoughts, how do they square with my earlier advice that you not let certain things build up inside you until you feel an explosion coming on? Very easily. It is up to you to give weight to a situation or circumstance that you perceive [...]
Solomon did not at first respond to his wife’s rejection in an angry way. He persisted in expressing his desire. At first he only called to her. She heard his voice. Then even after she had rejected him verbally, he reached out for her. His behavior did not mirror hers. [...]
A number of people who have heard me teach on the Song of Solomon have asked me, “But how can I tell if my spouse is upset over something I’ve done? My spouse doesn’t seem to give me any clue that I’ve stepped on her toes or tripped her up.” Every person has different means [...]
