How to Make Relationships Last 
	Love, Sex, & Lasting Relationships 
	Part 7 of 7

	Hanzo Hamamura   05.19.13

	                                                                                                                     

	                                                                                                                           Song of Songs 8

	 

	(Young Woman)

	1 If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother’s breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. 2 I would lead you and bring you to my mother’s house—she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates. 3 His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me. 4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. (NIV)

	 

	 

	HOW TO MAKE RELATIONSHIPS LAST

	 

	1.   PASSION  FOR EACH OTHER.

	 

	(Young Women of Jerusalem)

	5 Who is this sweeping in from the desert, leaning on her lover?

	(Young Woman)

	I aroused you under the apple tree, where your mother gave you birth, where in great pain she delivered you.

	6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned.  (NLT)

	 

	2.   POSSESS  EACH OTHER.

	  

	(The Young Woman’s Brothers)

	8 We have a little sister too young to have breasts. What will we do for our sister if someone asks to marry her? 9 If she is a virgin, like a wall, we will protect her with a silver tower. But if she is promiscuous, like a swinging door, we will block her door with a cedar bar.

	(Young Woman)

	10 I was a virgin, like a wall; now my breasts are like towers. When my lover looks at me, he is delighted with what he sees. 11 Solomon has a vineyard at Baal-hamon, which he leases out to tenant farmers. Each of them pays a thousand pieces of silver for harvesting its fruit. 12 But my vineyard is mine to give, and Solomon need not pay a thousand pieces of silver. But I will give two hundred pieces to those who care for its vines.

	(Young Man)

	13 O my darling, lingering in the gardens, your companions are fortunate to hear your voice. Let me hear it, too!

	(Young Woman)

	14 Come away, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.  (NLT)

	 

	3.   PERSUE  EACH OTHER.

	  

	THE BOTTOM LINE:

	 

	 BUILD  YOUR LIFE ON JESUS 

	AND HE WILL  REBUILD  YOUR LIFE.
