Have you ever wondered why the church doesn't speak more often to the subject of marital intimacy? Join us as we get an inside look at the wedding night of this couple in Song of Solomon 4:1-5:1. God clearly has a lot to say on this subject, including the proper context for intimacy, why sex outside of this context is so damaging, and how to kindle the flames of intimacy in your marriage.
