I have been reading about King Solomon's wedding in the book Song of Solomon in my Bible. I tied the love of Solomon and his wife, the daughter of the Pharaoh of Egypt, in with the love of romeo and Juliet. Their love is not material. Romeo and Solomon both love their wives for their beauty, but they also love them for their personality. They understand that love can not be bought and women are no prize. They are a treasure that is special and unique like a flower. The daughter of the Pharaoh and Juliet both understand to respect their husbands. Juliet demonstrates this when she forgives Romeo for killing Tybalt and she still loves him. Both of these couples love are stronger than any earthly thing. To me this is true love.
