Song of Solomon 8:5-7

 The young couple is seen arm in arm. This is an expression of companionship. It also conveys a desire to be seen by others as belonging to each other. This is the experience of romantic love from its first stages of early dating moving through the steps of engagement, marriage and parenting. Our relationships become profoundly integrated into our self-identity so much so that you and your spouse become emotionally, physically, financially, and even legally one.
