In Music of Songs 4:16, the brand new bride says: “Let my beloved come into his backyard and style its selection fruits.” This younger, clearly assured bride invited her husband to search out pleasure in her. There may be nothing extra interesting to a husband than for his personal spouse to provoke lovemaking and that occurs whenever you and I are assured in who we’re, assured we’re liked, and assured we gained’t be rejected.
In Music of Songs 7:1-9, Solomon provides an in depth description of his bride from the sandals on her toes to the hair on prime of her head. Some commentators imagine she may need been dancing earlier than him as he compiled this description.
Now you is perhaps pondering If I have been a younger bride with a lean flat abdomen and appeared like her, yeah, I’d dance earlier than my husband. However maybe you aren’t snug together with your husband inspecting you from head to toe. Or perhaps he’s made a comment up to now that has you feeling self-conscious. I understand it’s ingrained in us by our tradition (and maybe by some previous wounds, too) to not be an “object” earlier than any man and to be offended at any reference to your physique being a degree of visible pleasure in your husband. But, please bear in mind one thing: You’re his for all times – the one lady your husband can gaze upon and revel in with a proper coronary heart earlier than God.
Give it some thought. In case your husband seems to be at anybody else the best way he’s allowed by God to have a look at you, he will likely be committing adultery in his coronary heart. So, let him feast his eyes on you. Permit him to get pleasure from what he sees by taking the most effective care of your self that you may, by dressing properly, smelling pleasantly, and him with eyes that you just as soon as had for him. Maybe as you start to have a look at him the best way you as soon as did, he’ll return that look the best way he as soon as did.
