Song of Solomon 6 (NIV)
Friends

most beautiful of women?
Which way did your beloved turn,
that we may look for him with you?

Back to hair like flock of goats and pomegranate descriptions of his love. But the thing I did enjoy was how much he put her above all other women. As a women it is nice to feel like your husband only has eyes for you and that despite who may be in the room you are the center of his attention there is not only compliment and love in that but security as well.
Songs of Solomon 6
“There are sixty queens
And eighty concubines,
And virgins without number.
My dove, my perfect one,
Is the only one,
The only one of her mother,
The favorite of the one who bore her.
The daughters saw her
And called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines,
And they praised her.”
She is the only one he sees.
Song of Solomon 6; 2 Samuel 17-19
Much temptation and deception exists in our world today, and as it always has, to have eyes and hearts that wonder to consider other options out there. But how wise God was to establish the pattern of one man and one woman together for the thick and thin of life, persevering together to strengthen the bound that exists between both. Then it doesn’t matter how many more are around because we have the one that God has bound our heart to…and then to whom our desire is expressed. The Song of Solomon shows that it is pleasing to God when we please each other because that is how He has made us.
