The book of Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs) is a love story. It’s the romance between a young man and a young woman set to music that describes their courtship, marriage, and ultimate sexual consummation of the relationship. It can be interpreted allegorically (that it is not a factual relationship, but only a picture that symbolizes God’s love for Israel or Christ’s love for the Church), but a better way to interpret it is literally (with a secondary meaning)—that it is a real, historical, love relationship between a man and a woman which also parallels the love of God for us. Sex is a gift God has given us to be celebrated between a man and a woman in a monogamous, heterosexual marriage. In part one of this series, Pastor Gary will examine “Courtship Love”—guidelines from this story for those who are in a courting/dating relationship in preparation for marriage.

This is definitely describes about God's love to His church and to the world. Perfume or incense is part of salvation which is one of the gifts that the 3 wise men brought as gift to Christ's birth.

I have been going to my main church for 7 years, it's a big seeker-friendly model (8 or 9 thousand members). I have had little success in meeting women there for dating/courtship. Very frustrating. Outside of that church, I seem to have much more luck meeting women to date, but am consistently disappointed in their character quality. I've never felt at home there despite trying many times to get involved in study groups and small groups, etc.
It's the seeker-friendly model that seems to be the problem. "Seeker-Fiendly" is a church term for Mass-Marketing. It's in many ways the same thing, mass, impersonal, not concerned with those in the statistical demographic tails but rather the fat part of the demographic curve, the easy fruit.
