What Does the Bible Say About Desire in Marriage? (Song of Solomon) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

In this episode we look at the mutual delight and desire between husband and wife in Song of Solomon. Honoring each other's needs and building emotional and spiritual closeness reflect God's design for marriage. Real fulfillment comes from love that gives, not love that only takes.

"I am my beloved's, And his desire is for me." (Song of Solomon 7:10)

Questions this episode answers

Talk openly about what each of you needs and listen without judgment. When both people give out of love instead of obligation, the relationship grows stronger.
