you have carried my heart away!
With just one glance, with one bead of your necklace
you have carried my heart away.
My sister, my bride,
how sweet is your love!
How much better your love than wine,
more fragrant your perfumes than any spice!
- Song of Solomon 4:9-10
Love, songs are written mostly about it, people can't get enough of it. The love I'm talking about is a love between a man and woman or a husband and wife. It's funny though how love seem to fade when two people have been married for quite a while. But true love never fades. Love is sweetest at its beginings. When two couple are just newly wed, they are high in the sky, floating on cloud 9. How Solomon writes about love in a most passionate way. How could someone have that magical effect on another? The simple things like a single glance or the things that remind you of that person would carries your heart away? It is most beautiful to feel this way but everything has its own time. Some find love earlier than others, some find it later. But know this, that you will know when you have found true love because it changes you into a better person.
Love when it is found should be celebrated, it should be delighted upon, thought of most often and treasured in every single way. When you have finally found the right person, always treasure that person, never take them for granted. The the most common enemy of marriages that end in divorce is taking each other for granted, they have stopped caring for each other and loving each other when they have vowed to do so before GOD. How is it that before those vows were being spoken of, love used to be sweet? Love used to be thrilling? The only reason why love begins to fade especially in the marriage is because love is being taken for granted. Songs like "The way we were" describes how one can long for what used to be. Love is not some magical thing that suddenly poof! appears and poof! dissappears, No! Love takes a lot of work. Two people have to work together to cultivate love, to remain in love and to treasure what they were blessed with at the begining until the very end.
