...May you rejoice in the wife of your youth...may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.
Sex is an important part of marriage, a beautiful gift from God. It serves the purpose of procreation, but, as these verses state, it is also intended for pleasure. Sexual intimacy helps bring a couple closer together, sharing moments alone together. It is a personal, private expression of love.
These verses (and going back to v. 15) show that marriage should be monogamous, that you should continue to find joy in one another throughout the years, that sex should be pleasurable and satisfying, and that your husband should be "ever captivated by [your] love."
