Our culture has become very good at weddings and increasingly confused about marriage. In Song of Solomon 3, Jared looks beyond the ceremony to the covenant being declared: “I am committed to you before God in all the ways that you’re going to change.” Marriage is not sustained by one great wedding day or by constantly changing feelings, but by ordinary days of sacrifice, faithfulness, repentance, forgiveness, and delight. Ultimately, every marriage points beyond itself to Christ—the faithful groom whose covenant love never fails his bride.
