Song of Songs 4:16

She

¹⁶ Awake, north wind,
    and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
    that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
    and taste its choice fruits.

In other words, “Come on baby, let’s get it on.”

Song of Songs 4:11-15

Him

The fragrance of your garments

  is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
¹² You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;
    you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
¹³ Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
    with choice fruits,
    with henna and nard,
¹⁴     nard and saffron,
    calamus and cinnamon,
    with every kind of incense tree,
    with myrrh and aloes
    and all the finest spices.
¹⁵ You are^[j] a garden fountain,
    a well of flowing water
    streaming down from Lebanon.

You are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain….

A well of flowing water, streaming down from Lebanon….

Do you think of sex as a way to be refreshed – and a way to refresh your husband.

Song of Songs 4:1-4

He

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^[i];
on it hang a thousand shields,
    all of them shields of warriors.
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon. 

I kiss with my lips. I speak with my lips. I eat with my lips. But I don’t know if I think of my lips as a way to entice my husband.

When I was young, I remember my mom always putting on lip stick before we went out. It was this instant change to who she was and how she felt.

I am more of a chapstick girl. Really my entire family is pretty much addicted to it. We don’t leave home with out a stick in our pocket.

But maybe I need to think of using my lips as a way to transform from mom, to WOMAN. Maybe I need to pick up a few different colors of lipstick to provide an instant change in what mood is set in my marriage bed. Some bright red for classic elegance and sophistication, some wet luscious pink for playfulness and how about black? I wonder what that would do?

This week –

1. Try putting on lipstick to set the mood in bed.

2. Try to flirt with your husband by simply using your lips.

Song of Songs 2:10- 13

She

¹⁰ My beloved spoke and said to me,
    “Arise, my darling,
    my beautiful one, come with me.
¹¹ See! The winter is past;
    the rains are over and gone.
¹² Flowers appear on the earth;
    the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
    is heard in our land.
¹³ The fig tree forms its early fruit;
    the blossoming vines spread their
fragrance.

Arise, come, my darling;
    my beautiful one, come with me.”

Winter is past and Spring is on it’s way.

Song of Songs 2:8-9

She
8 Listen! My beloved!
Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
bounding over the hills.
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Look! There he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice.

Look!

Do we look at our husbands? Do we look at our husbands bodies? Do we look at how they move?

Song of Songs 2:6-7

She

 ⁶His left arm is under my head,
    and his right arm embraces me.
⁷ Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you
    by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
    until it so desires.

His right arm embraces me.

How our husband embraces us can set the tone for sex.
