to Solomon (and God, of course), he does not give her a specific, formal name. But I believe, as do several other commentators on the Song, that Solomon likely used “Shulamith” as a personal pet name for his beloved. She was a real person of great physical and emotional beauty, and I think she deserves a beautiful and personal name: Shulamith.
    Of the over one thousand such songs Solomon wrote, God has saved this special book for us. God wants every couple to be as crazy in love as Solomon and Shulamith. And, God wants you to stay that way throughout your marriage. Loving with passion is God’s design for marriage. To live without passion is not healthy—in fact, it’s downright destructive.
    In the Song of Solomon, God provides a “Crazy in Love How-To Manual.” The Song is a detailed explanation of how a husband and a wife can experience unending passion, and have a blast doing it! This amazing book of the Bible teaches you how to break through your many differences and relationship obstacles to a powerful, permanent passion.

The Path to Passion
    In chapter two, I cover the myths about passion and about the Song of Solomon. A lot of experts are dead wrong about marital passion. A lot of other experts are wrong about the teaching of the Song. Someone has to set the record straight, and I’m that guy.
    In chapters three through twenty, I teach the passion principles contained in the Song of Solomon. There are two chapters for each principle: one chapter describes the mistakes couples make, followed by a second chapter that explains— with teaching from the Song—how couples can master that passion principle. I devote three chapters to resolving conflict and preparing for physical intimacy. Finally, in chapter twenty-one, I examine Song of Solomon 8:6–7, the beautiful definition of Solomon and Shulamith’s love.
    Ready to get your passion back? Let’s go.

    Can Passion Really Last, and What Does Solomon Know about It Anyway?
    From the time Solomon wrote his beautiful song of love some 3,000 years ago, there have been myths about the book itself and about passion in marriage. These myths—both secular and Judeo-Christian—have confused lovers for centuries and done great damage to many couples. It’s time to explode these myths and replace them with God’s truth about marital passion.
    Myth #1: Passion Can’t Last in a Marriage, So Find a New Spouse (Secular, Popular Culture)
    Look, passion never lasts in a marriage. Never. It’s just the nature of the beast. Your male-female differences catch up to you. Life becomes routine. You begin to bore each other. The only excitement comes from your ever-increasing conflicts. If you have kids, they drive the last few nails into the coffin of your passion. Some couples keep their passion longer than others, but no couple ever keeps it forever. If you get seven, ten, fifteen, or even twenty years of passion with your spouse, consider yourself very lucky. When passion leaves, it’s gone. It isn’t ever coming back with your current spouse.
    When you realize your passion is gone, face that sad truth head-on, and don’t make any attempts to get it back. Cut your losses and move on. Get divorced quickly, and find a new spouse. Multiple partners are just a reality of the twentyfirst century. You’re going to live only about eighty years, so don’t waste time in a dead marriage. Living without passion is awful, and you deserve better. That fresh burst of passion with your new sweetheart is going to feel marvelous. So, go for it!
    Truth: Passion will last in a marriage, if you do it God’s way
    Secular, popular culture does have two things right in the above myth. First, it is true that every couple’s initial passion doesn’t last. This is infatuation passion, and it always burns out, never to return. Second, culture is correct that losing passion is bad. Catastrophically bad. Marriage is nothing without passion. Loss of passion is boring, draining, destructive,
