Do you remember anything about your elementary days? What about the first crush you had? Did you ever ask a friend to pass a note asking the question similar to this, “Do you love me? Check yes or no?” It all sounds silly today, but at the time that was something very special, unless of course the person checked “no”! When we become adults, we realize that relationships are a little more complicated especially since we live in a culture that doesn’t necessarily view relationships in the same way Christians might. Song of Songs (Solomon) gives us some incredible wisdom about Relational Foundations. This session of Explore the Bible will focus on three vital actions for maintaining healthy relationships.

There are only two sessions left in the “Living Wisely in a Foolish World” study. The study will take us to another Bible book that God led Solomon to write – the Song of Songs (Solomon). Both sessions will focus on building healthy relationships. Because healthy relationships matter to the Lord, we must become wise in how we invest in relationships. This session's passage provides three actions for building healthy relationships, especially between a husband and wife. Here are the actions:

• First, we should PROTECT OUR RELATIONSHIPS - Song of Songs 2:15
• Second, MUTUAL COMMITMENT is needed in order to sustain healthy relationships - Song of Songs 2:16-17
• Third, we should PRACTICE RESTRAINT - Song of Songs 3:1-5
