  1. is the question mark because you couldn't find it?.....or because you didn't know what to write? hahaha.
    Its pretty erotic!
    sort of a 50 shades of grey....from way back.

    I read it in a couple of different translations, just to see if there was something that hit me.

    15 Oh, my dear friend! You’re so beautiful!
    And your eyes so beautiful—like doves!

    This phrase struck me in The Message version. It struck me because of the word "friend". I really like that word choice. Even though there is obvious passion between these 2 people, he still refers to her as a dear friend. To me, that's where it all starts. I'm not always good at communicating the things to Kim that I need to....like the fact that she is far and away my best friend. And, I would rather spend time with her, over anyone else. I should probably tell her that, huh?

  2. I like your take and yeah that would be a good thing to tell her! do it today, we never know if we have a tomorrow. I have the same issue and even had some anxiety recently that I was not being a good husband feeling a bit distant. I tried to strike the conversation on the topic but she told me I do it plenty so I guess I'm good. ha. with all the activities of life with work, kids stuff its easy for the relationship to take a back seat. i don't want that, i want to feel close to her. maybe this chapter will good for me, the first chapter just left me wondering what to comment on.
