The Wisdom of Love and Marriage

Whose idea was it to place this love song within the Old Testament’s Wisdom Literature? Is there anything to learn from its romantic poetry? Delving into the Song of Songs, we find that its primary audience is the unmarried. However, couples are repeatedly welcomed in to refresh their delight in one another—like springtime in marriage. God is the author and source of love, and in Solomon’s mysterious poem, he brings to light the deep wisdom of a beautiful and true love that reflects Christ’s love for his bride.
