One jewelry store advertised: “Wedding rings for rent!” That advertisement is a sign of the times.

The Times (London) has reported that many American couples are adjusting wedding vows to new concepts of marriage. "Til death do us part" is giving way to "for as long as our marriage shall serve the common good."

The Song of Solomon God’s theology of marriage. Solomon wrote his love song when he was probably around 40 years old. He was in love with the Lord (1 Kings 3:3) and his wife, the Shulamite woman. In Song of Solomon 1:1, Solomon calls his love song, "The Song of Songs" or the number one Love Song at the top of the charts out of at least 1005 songs (1 Kings 4:32). Song of Solomon is a romantic ballad or a romantic story put to music.

This love song chronicles Solomon dating, proposing, marrying, going on the honeymoon, and working through his first argument with his new bride (Bible Knowledge Commentary).
