This is an odd book. Why would God include a book about sexual love in the Bible? Because God gave us bodies that respond to the physical love of our spouse. He gave us desires that are wonderfully satisfied in marriage. And He gave sexual love to bond a husband and wife together in this beautiful mutually-given gift (see 1 Corinthians 7:1-7). This book celebrates a chaste, self-giving, and bonding view of sexual love between a husband and wife. It is a beautiful book that Solomon called his "song of songs," or "finest song" (1:1).
