  1. Making a Marathon Marriage Song of Songs 8:5-7

  2. Making a Marathon Marriage • Marriage has its own math: 1+1=1 • Song of Songs 8:5a • Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved? • 8:5b: Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth."  Now, what's this all about?

  3. Making a Marathon Marriage • Marriage must be protected • Song of Songs 8:6 • Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal over your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. • 1 Corinthians 13:7-8a • Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

  4. Making a Marathon Marriage • Marriage should be passionate • Song of Songs 8:6b – 8:7 • It [love] burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away. • Song of Songs 4:1-4 • How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from the hills of Gilead. 2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone. 3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. 4 Your neck is like the tower of David, built with courses of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.

  5. Making a Marathon Marriage • Marriage should be passionate • Song of Songs 4:5 • Your two breasts are like two fawns, twin fawns of a gazelle. • Proverbs 5:18-19 • May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 A loving doe, a graceful deer-- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love. • Song of Songs 4:6 • Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense.

  6. Making a Marathon Marriage • Marriage should be passionate • Song of Songs 4:7 • You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. • 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 • The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
