Join us as we explore the beautiful and profound love poetry of the Song of Songs, which offers a timeless biblical vision for marriage, sex, relationships, and the body. Listen in as we start our conversation with a deep exploration of the sanctity of sex and marriage, discussing how the world’s understanding often contrasts with God’s original vision. We take a deep look at the concept of holy and righteous desires within the context of a godly, covenantal marriage.

Our exploration of the Song of Songs doesn't stop there--we continue to uncover the significance of companionship in relationships. By diving into the Hebrew word for helper, we unravel how it signifies the need for companionship, and discuss how its misinterpretation has led to notions of a woman's suppression or a man's chauvinism. Additionally, we examine the role of vision, purpose, and partnership in marriage, discussing the biblical mandate of Genesis 1:28 and the immense joy and meaning children can bring to life.

In the final stretch of our conversation, we ponder over the Song of Songs' depiction of the woman's beauty in her imperfections, drawing parallels to the concept of being without shame in the kingdom of God. We outline the four things marriage is for: companionship, children, intimacy, and calling, emphasizing the pursuit of holiness and happiness within the framework of these aspects. Lastly, we navigate through the importance of shared calling in marriage, the need for mutual submission, and the power of prayer and God's guidance. This is a compelling discussion on love, desire, companionship, and marriage through the lens of the Song of Songs.
