King Solomon,
however, loved many foreign women besides
Pharaoh's daughter—Moabites, Ammonites,
Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. They were from
nations about which the LORD had told the
Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them,
because they will surely turn your hearts after
their gods." Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to
them in love. He had seven hundred wives of
royal birth and three hundred concubines, and
his wives led him astray. 1 Kings 11:1-3

The voice of experience,
often times we hear it, but rarely do we
heed it. But how about this, would you
listen to someone who had over 2,000
cumulative years of experience being
married? Think about it, Solomon had 700
wives, and if he were married an average of
3 years to each one, that would be 2,100
years of experience. Of course these
marriages weren't your traditional mom, pop,
kids, family. Still, I would be interested
to hear what he had to say on the husband
wife relationship. Listen to these proverbs
most likely written by Solomon. Sounds like
the voice of experience to me.
"He who finds a wife finds what is good and
receives favor from the Lord." Proverbs
18:22
"Better to live on a corner of the roof than
with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife."
Proverbs 21:9
