It took me a
long time to decide whether or not it was OK to use this 1990’s song as
the title to this post, but in light of the upcoming study, I thought
it would be ok 
. I especially thought it apt to have a perhaps
taboo title after reading through the discussion questions for this
week - “How can you talk about sex in a godly manner?” and “Why do you
think we don’t talk about sex?”
Tommy Nelson poses this question: “Why is sex such a large part of life, yet people are afraid to talk and teach about it from God’s Word?”
Of course, we can probably attribute this dilema to the fall of man (Genesis), but are there other things within our society, or within your friendships, that discourage open, godly discussion about a subject that God intended to be so perfect and pure in its right place - mariage?
While Song of Solomon is an explicit depiction of mariage, sex, and the relationship between a husband and wife, it’s often used to describe the relationship between us and Christ. With that in mind, how secure do you feel about your relationship with Christ, and how will a secure relationship with Christ affect your future marriage or other relationships?
You might want to take a look at Song of Solomon 3:1-11 and 4:1-4 while you consider these questions .
