Three times she urges others not to force love, but to let it develop at its own rate. Love should wait for its proper time."

Yeah, I like Song of Songs too. Solomon's wife pointed out another aspect of faithful commitment. She said "Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it". I found that one in Song 8:7. That to me means love is meant to be an eternal flame. (as long as there's no cheating involved) I can't deal with that mess. One woman for one man and one man for one woman. Period.
