The main theme in this book is undoubtedly love. It is about how beautiful love is between a man and a woman in the context of marriage; how God intended it to be. In this version I don't see a whole lot of God and His bride, but I mainly see the physical love in a marriage. However, I do see God in 8:6-7 when it says, "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it." It reminds me of Jesus' love on the cross and how it was stronger than the grave. Jesus is the "brightest kind of flame" and He shines through each of us. No waters can quench the love that God has for us. No way! We cannot even comprehend His love for us and that, in and of itself, is the most beautiful love story of them all.
This was really the core of the book! I like your interpretation of the book, let's just say it was very PG13! ;)
