In Song of Songs 4:16, the brand new bride says: “Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.” This younger, clearly assured bride invited her husband to search out pleasure in her. There is 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 Song of Songs 7:1-9, Solomon offers an in depth description of his bride from the sandals on her ft to the hair on high of her head. Some commentators consider she may need been dancing earlier than him as he compiled this description.
Now you may be considering If I had been a younger bride with a lean flat abdomen and appeared like her, yeah, I’d dance earlier than my husband. But maybe you aren’t comfy together with your husband inspecting you from head to toe. Or possibly he’s made a comment previously 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 on your husband. Yet, please keep in mind one thing: You are his for all times – the one girl your husband can gaze upon and revel in with a proper coronary heart earlier than God.
Think about it. If your husband seems at anybody else the best way he’s allowed by God to take a look at you, he will probably be committing adultery in his coronary heart. So, let him feast his eyes on you. Allow him to take pleasure in what he sees by taking the most effective care of your self that you could, by dressing properly, smelling pleasantly, and taking a look at him with eyes that you just as soon as had for him. Perhaps as you start to take 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.
