NSFC: Spirituality, Sex, and Longing in the Song of Songs 5/6
Monogamy is Sexy. These lovers anticipate their marriage, but even before the covenant vows they are pledged solely to each other. This is not a constraint on their freedom but the very nature of the height of love: that each lover is so consumed by passion for the other that there is simply no room for anyone else in their hearts or minds. (See especially 5:9ff; 6:3; 6:9; 7:10.) This is both a marital and theological claim: that monogamous marriage (the consummation of one love over one lifetime) trains our hearts for the loyalty of monotheism.
