Love is a fire, and playing with fire will eventually burn you. Although the Bible does offer answers to the questions singles have about love, marriage, and sexuality, those answers are found in a book of the Bible they are normally told to avoid. The Song of Songs, contrary to popular opinion, is primarily addressed to singles (not married couples), and teaches them wisdom so that they can love successfully. It teaches that love is a fire, a fire that is best kept out until the appropriate time.
King Solomon loved many women, believing they would bring him peace and pleasure. But his attempts to love only brought him pain and misery. He thought he could play with fire... but he ended up burned. Reflecting on his failures, he wrote his best song, the Song of Songs, addressed to single men and women, and taught them God's design for love, so that they can love successfully. Instead of listing "thou shalt not..." commandments regarding sex, Solomon molds the emotions of singles so that they desire to love God's way. Song of Songs for Singles helps unmarried individuals understand and apply the wisdom of the Song of Songs, preparing them to find love and making them less likely to get hurt.
