What do you do when the wonder of the first months fades and what remains is bills, exhaustion, and disappointment in yourself? This sermon takes us to the final chapter of the Song of Songs (Song of Songs 8), where a woman comes up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved, and love is described as a seal upon the heart and a flame that many waters cannot quench. Alongside the text come the testimonies of three couples married 37, 45, and 46 years, who say plainly what carried them through their crises. Listen if you want your dreams not to get lost somewhere between “once upon a time” and “happily ever after”.

For Better or Worse
How do you build relationships at different stages of a relationship? How do you move from the getting-to-know-each-other stage, through the decision to live together and any crises, to a mature relationship? If you want to find out, you can’t miss our new teaching series on the Song of Songs. This book has stirred emotions for centuries because, in describing the relationship between a man and a woman, it devotes a great deal of attention to the charms of physical intimacy. Although it was written in ancient times, it remains surprisingly relevant today.
