THE SPIRITUALITY OF ROMANCE
 |
| Christian Marriage Must Involve Romantic Intimacy |
In the whole of the
Holy Book, there's a book that seems odd, and out of place which many
Christians view as not spiritual enough or not on the same spiritual
level with others - the book of Song of Solomon.
Why?
Because Songs of Solomon is the story of love and PURE expression of #Romantic love between a #Couple. Some have tried to spiritualize it by saying its an allegory of God's love, for either Israel or the Church, but the fact still remain, the book is a romantic book.

Does that makes it less spiritual?
No!
No!
Most people believe in love... Even atheists, and many say God is
love... Which agrees with the Holy Book. The question is: if God is
love, How do we know?
He EXPRESSED it. (John 3:16)
Is that spiritual? Yes!
Is that spiritual? Yes!
Many also argues that we are created in God's image... As he is, so we
are... So if God express, Communicate His love, and it is spiritual,
what makes our communication/
The Church and indeed many Christians shy away from in-depth teachings
and discussions on Romantic Love, especially romance and intimacy, other
than an attitude of silence which left majority to decipher... We will
cross the bridge when we get there!
God did not make a mistake by
inspiring those who canonized the scripture to include that unique book
in it, or else the Bible wouldn't have been The Total Book for a Total
Man - The book that address every aspect of one's life... Including the
romance... No matter how unspiritual that sounds.
The book of
Songs of Solomon is a book of the Bible that is dedicated to Love and
Romance and in tally with the whole concept and teaching of the Bible...
Within marriage.
