• Song of Solomon 1:2

  Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For your love is better than wine.

• 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

  [4] Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, [5] doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; [6] doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; [7] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

• Song of Solomon 2:10-13

  [10] My beloved spoke, and said to me, Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away. [11] For, behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone. [12] The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing has come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land. [13] The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, And come away. Lover

• Song of Solomon 8:6-7

  [6] Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of Yahweh. [7] Many waters can't quench love, Neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly scorned. Friends

• Proverbs 5:18-19

  [18] Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. [19] A loving doe and a graceful deer-- Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.

• 1 Timothy 4:12

  Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.

• Song of Solomon 4:9-10

  [9] You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, With one chain of your neck. [10] How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine! The fragrance of your perfumes than all manner of spices!

• Song of Solomon 3:1-4

  [1] By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn't find him. [2] I will get up now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn't find him. [3] The watchmen who go about the city found me; "Have you seen him whom my soul loves?" [4] I had scarcely passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, Into the chamber of her who conceived me.

• Ephesians 5:25-33

  [25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; [26] that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, [27] that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. [28] Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. [29] For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly; [30] because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones. [31] "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh." [32] This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. [33] Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

• Ruth 1:16-17

  [16] Ruth said, "Don't entreat me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God; [17] where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: Yahweh do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
