Many couples find themselves at a point where they need a passion boost. How can husbands and wives break through the many obstacles and issues that have derailed their desire and get back on track to being the crazy-in-love couple they once were?

Solomon had a few secrets up his ancient sleeves, and marriage therapist Dr. David Clarke helps readers learn why the passionate exchanges and God-inspired, 3,000-year-old techniques of Solomon and Shulamith worked then–and still work today. Readers will learn how to troubleshoot problems and conflicts, put each other first, employ praise, have fun, flirt, be more playful and sensual, and rediscover the lost art of a great kiss.

Every married couple can experience exhilarating passion; Dr. Clarke and the Song of Solomon reveal how!

Confession: I only read this book to fulfill a requirement of my 2021 reading challenge (a book that starts with the same letter as my first name). I don’t know how I found this book, but it was on my Kindle, so I read it.

It was a fun, interesting read. I’d always been taught that the Song of Solomon was symbolic, so it was a stretch for me to read it as an actual account of a romantic relationship. There were times when I thought his interpretation might be a stretch of what’s actually in Song, but I’ll have to do some more studying.

Regardless of whether Song is the true story of Solomon and his wife–even if it is allegorical of Christ and the church–it still provides a pretty good example of how a Godly marriage can (and should) function. A lot of it does focus on the physical aspect of marriage, which I appreciated. I know so many Christians who ignore that side of marriage that it actually breaks my heart. I truly appreciate that Clarke gives it time and identifies it as an important aspect of a Godly marriage. I agree!

If you and/or your spouse are looking for Godly encouragement in your marriage (especially regarding your physical intimacy), I recommend this book. (You might not completely agree with his interpretations, but the marital advice he gives agrees with other counselors I’ve read/talked with).
