In his sermon on Song of Solomon 3:6–5:1, Stephen Davey explains how the wedding day of Solomon and his bride celebrates God’s design for marriage, intimacy, and covenant love. The groom’s joyful arrival, poetic praise, and careful honor of his bride highlight dignity, commitment, and delight rather than lust or vulgarity. Davey notes that the marriage consummation is described with beauty and restraint, affirming that physical intimacy within marriage is holy, protected, and intended by God. He then broadens the picture to show how marital love reflects Christ’s sacrificial love for His bride, the church. Davey concludes that lasting love—whether in marriage or singleness—flows from loving the Lord first, because Jesus alone makes true love both possible and permanent.
