Chew on this: the man who truly loves you will be willing to pay the price for you, like the merchant "who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it" {Matthew 13:46 KJV}. He'll sell worldly ideas about sex before marriage, other women he's kept on reserve…you name it, he'll get rid of it, in order to be in position to win you! Jesus paid the price to redeem you. How much more should a mortal man be willing to pay to possess your love?
The quote emphasizes that true love involves sacrifice and commitment. Just as the merchant sold everything to buy a precious pearl, a man in love should be willing to let go of superficial desires and distractions to pursue a meaningful relationship. This commitment reflects the depth of his feelings and his readiness to prioritize his partner over everything else.
The author compares this idea to how Jesus made great sacrifices for love, suggesting that if a divine figure can pay such a price, then a man should also demonstrate the same level of dedication to win a woman's heart. True love is about valuing the partner and making necessary sacrifices for them.
