“My beloved is mine and I am his.” Song of Songs
Here is the proclamation of marriage. I am officially off the market. I have committed myself to one person for the rest of my life. They have committed themselves to me. How wonderful to belong to someone and know with confidence that they belong only to you. To say, “Here is my wife,” or “Here is my husband,” is to proudly proclaim to everyone that there is no one else in all the world who is what this person is to me. Conversations Within” ts 2/8/2015
