Permanent bond

Step 5 of “Singing of love” from Song of Songs 8:6-7 speaks to permanent love between two people. Two have become one in love--a love so strong and capable it can survive the most powerful destructive force and even death. Such love cannot be bought.

How would you illustrate a permanent bond between two mates? Superglue? At one time, birds were upheld as examples of fidelity and virtue because of their monogamous mating habits.

In math, we say that the number 19 is prime (it can’t be divided) like the love described in the focal verses. In addition, the number 19 is the combination of 7 and 12. The number 7 represents God, and the number 12 is a symbol of the Church. The love between these two is a permanent bond!
