Love and Relationships, Day 1

How do we define love in our relationships? Read Song of Songs 1:1-8.

As we look at this beautiful love story, we are going to see more clearly the importance and impact of love and relationships in our lives. These can often be a direct reflection of our relationship with Christ.

In these first few verses we see the woman declare her love for him. She is longing for him and desires his love more than anything. Our intimate relationships are to be characterized by this type of passion and romance. God created love and intimacy, and when we are obedient to the types of relationships that God has described in scripture, we see him glorified in how we love our spouse.

Do our relationships glorify God? Do we love our spouse in the way that God desires?
