A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video in which Ashley and Dave Willis discuss Song of Solomon 5:16 ("His mouth is sweetness itself... my lover and my friend"). Ashley emphasizes that the woman calls her husband both "lover" and "friend," and argues that healthy marriages need both sexual intimacy and friendship; lacking either is a deficit. The clip is reflective and pastoral, relating biblical language to modern relationship advice.

Today we're going to talk about Song of Solomon, chapter 5, verse 16. And this is where the lady is talking. Okay? And it says this. His mouth is sweetness itself. He is desirable in every way. Such, O women of Jerusalem, is my lover and my friend. I love that. I love how. My favorite part of Song of Solomon. Okay. And we've spent a lot of time in this book.
Yeah.
She always refers to her husband as my lover and my friend. We did a message on this years ago where we talked about being lovers and friends. Like, we talked about how you really need both. Like, you can have. You can be great lovers, have a great sex life, but if you have no friendship, you're missing out. But you can be great friends and great partners, but if you have no sex life, you're missing out.
We say it's like two wings on the same bird. You know, romance and friendship are two wings, and if you're missing either wing, that bird can't fly.
