King
Solomon’s favorite place appeared to be his vineyard. It was a delightful refuge for him; a
safe-haven from the daily grind of being king.
He found it beautiful, tranquil and a lush tropical escape.
I must
tell you, there are a couple of different views on what “his garden” refers to
in this passage. It may be his actual
garden/vineyard, or it might be translated as a physical portion of her body. (Song
of Solomon by Carr, 145) Whichever is
correct, I believe he would most probably enjoy his escape.
So how
does this apply to our husbands?
Interview a few hundred men and you will most likely find that 99.9% of
them, like King Solomon, desire a safe-haven from their daily grind. They fantasize about coming home to a
peaceful environment with a wife that will spoil them rotten by way of various
pleasures stirring all of their senses.
Think
about the five senses for a moment.
There is touch (intimate time), taste (yummy dinners), smell (clean
house/candles), sight (hair brushed/cute outfit), and sound (peace/his favorite
relaxing music). One more is on an
intellectual level, the need for his bride to admire him as the most wonderful
spouse in the world.
When a
wife praises and serves her man in these ways she is declaring, “I am
my love’s and my love is mine; he feeds among the lilies.” Song of
Solomon 6:3.

Praise Him – Take a
moment to tell your man that he is the most wonderful spouse in the world. Remember to say it with your body language
and tone of voice too. Let him know how
much you appreciate him and how much you love being his wife.
Serve Him – Try to stir
all of his senses, sound, smell, taste, sight and of course, touch.
“Sitting down, He
called the Twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first,
he must be last of all and servant of all.”
Mark
9:35
