ONLY ONE SPOUSE, ONLY ONE GOD

'The more we understand about marriage, the more we understand about our relationship with God. More than any other human relationship marriage reflects the divine-human relationship. There are only two relationships that are mutually exclusive to humans. We may have only one spouse and only one God. Accordingly, these are the only relationships where jealousy can be a positive emotion.' 

Tremper Longman III, Song of Songs, p.70. 

JEALOUS JESUS

'...the Lord will mot share us with other Lords, of whom notoriously there are many. Christ, we may say, is Jealousy incarnate.' 

Robert W Jenson, Song of Songs, p.93.
