Repetitions in the Bible

I believe it is safe to say that many are enjoying Song of Songs during devotions.

The expressions of love awakening, two souls united in the universe in a crescendo of love and words that God wanted us to know. 

His words to her, her words to him. I assure the men listening that King Solomon was known as the wisest man on earth, pay attention. They are. 

There is a common theme with repetitions in Bible.

Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.  - Song of Songs 2:7

Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.  - Song of Songs 3:5

Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.  - Song of Songs 8:4

Saying it two times means it's important. Saying it three times means it is really important. 

The life application shares that romance is a feeling, but that it has to be met with commitment.

Do not arouse or awaken love until it can be met with commitment. 

Love is not a feeling.

Love is a decision.
