Song of Solomon 7:11,12

The woman requests that she may go with her husband into the country. They need to examine the plants. This is a word picture that she used before, in 6:11. Then, she was explaining how she understood about the right time for marriage.

This time, she seems to speak about the right time to express love to her husband. The right time matters very much to a married couple who want to have children. The Bible says not to have sex during the period in the month when the woman bleeds (Leviticus 15:24). And it is wise for a woman to improve her health before she tries to have a baby. If she is too weak, the baby may not be strong enough.
