Series: Song of Solomon

Song of Solomon 2:3-7
Introduction: I have been told that some have been waiting for this night ever since I began my ''through the Bible series.'' Some of you have been wondering what I will do with the Song of Solomon. Any of you familiar with the Bible know what I am talking about. The Song of Solomon or Song of Songs or Canticles, the Latin title, is unique among the sixty-six books of the Bible.

To better appreciate this theme I thought it might be good to begin by considering some alternatives to the loving, romantic relationship between the Lover and the Beloved of the Song of Solomon.

3. I asked my beloved where she wanted to go for our anniversary. ''Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!'' she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
4. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. My beloved got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
7. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.
8. I haven't spoken to my beloved for 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
