How does the Song of Solomon relate to Christ and His church?

Answered in 1 source

The Song of Solomon is an allegory representing Christ's love for His church as a beautiful, intimate relationship.

The Song of Solomon serves as an allegory of Christ's love for His church, illustrating a deep and intimate relationship marked by affection and commitment. The terms of endearment used by Solomon mirror how Christ views His people, calling them His 'dove' and 'undefiled.' This relationship emphasizes not only the beauty of the union but also the redemptive qualities of Christ, who accepts and cherishes His church despite its imperfections. The work emphasizes the delight of being in communion with Christ and the joy found in His love.
