Solomon or the Shepherd? God’s Vision for Marriage in Song of Songs

What does Scripture mean when it says we are to be equally yoked in marriage? Aaron Sironi argues that God’s vision for marriage is more than finding a believing spouse. It has just as much to do with how a couple partners together after the wedding as choosing someone for the wedding. The relationship between the young woman and the shepherd boy in Song of Songs illustrates this, as they care for each other in ways that are joyfully mutual and beautifully equal.
