Hey, welcome back.

I want to first thank you for some really kind comments for last week. The Proverbs

31 study and how it affects young men and young women and the future of families is very important

to me, and I think maybe it's important to others as well. I'm really hoping to work it into the

2026 meeting schedule. I just, the more I spend time on it and look at my own life, even after nearly 30 years

of marriage, and certainly my kids, I just think it's important. And what we'll do today is just

continue that discussion some. I went ahead and kept the title of today's episode, Young Faithful

Men, Part 2, and we will feature the content of the book of Song of Solomon. But really, it's just young lovers.

It's young married.

It's young attracted, young dating.

It's all of the teenage through 20-something relationships

and how to develop them in the right and appropriate way,

the faithful way, the holy way, but with incredible passion and love.

So I think I probably will put a little bit more, at least initial emphasis on young men as we look

through this series of points, but we'll apply it across the board.

So can I ask you, when is the last time you read The Song of Solomon?
