What surprises me is that Solomon had hundreds of wives and a few hundred concubines.I cannot reconcile the "Song" with this data on his married and extra-marital life.I am not judging him.I just cannot reconcile this.Either he is not the author of the "Song" or the data about his married life is incorrect.Scripture supports scripture, so how could this inconsistencey of faithfulness arise between the narrative of the "Song" and his life?

To God Be the Glory... I am a Minister/Evangelists and I have been studying the Song of Solomon and sharing it with marriages. It's so peculiar, I have spoken with and counseled so many married couples who love the Lord and each other but yet they are bored and tired of their marriages. They go to work, go home, go to church and praise God; yet they have forgotten to minister to each others physical and emotional needs and desires. We (the church) have literally taken the joy of passion, intimacy, and sexual pleasure out of marriage. Very nice article - God bless you.
