The war over this bride is simple to be understood.
It is like two guys going after a girl. The girl does not behave so seemly, in fact she is a prostitute. But the one guy wants to exploit her and the other guy wants to clean her up and maker her a beautiful wife.
It starts by the bad guy doing good things for the girl (just to entice her), and so does the good guy. So she is torn between the two. She doesn't know which one is the right one. So she chooses the bad guy because his gifts are more attractive. And over time the relationships gets worse. It started good but it grows into an abusive relationship.
The good guy loves this girl though, and he waits for her to come to her senses. However, not she is trapped, and needs help, a rescuer. The good guy (who is actually a son of a King but the girl doesn't know it), comes to her rescue. He goes to the woman after some years and she looks completely different than he remembered her. She looks horrible and ridden with lust and filth. When the girl sees the good guy she is repelled by him. The appearance of his goodness shows her her shame. She believes she has done too much to be acceptable as a chaste virgin. She is ashamed. But the good guy doesn't care, he loves her. And he tells her to come out of that relationship, that he will make null any pact she had with him (which he has power to do). And she does eventually come out from that bad guy.
The good guy trains her has a wife, dealing firmly yet kindly with her until she comes into the image of himself, beautiful for marriage. Washing away her shame and adorning her with beauty. Decorated in fine clothes and apparel. However, after time these things become her Lord, and she becomes a greedy wife, wanting things and forsaking the Love of the one who bought her. She turns again to lusts, and those lusts leads to other old lusts, and then she commits adultery and separates herself from her husband again, going back to the old harlotries.
The next time the good guy sees the woman she is a mess again, and he takes her back cleans her again, and she endures for a while and goes back again, and again he goes to her. This continues on and on for a while. But one day she goes so far away that her husband cannot find her. And so he goes out to look for her, and finds her in a strange country. And these people know nothing about him. So when he comes to claim her he is persecuted and mocked. The wife has forgotten her husband, but he will die for her for the sake of love. Proving that he loves her once and for all. Yes, he dies, and is killed for her. And the bride mourns when her husband is taken away. But before the husband left he made a promise that if she continues in what he taught her while he was with her, she will see him again. This sorrowful reminder of the love of this man, even to die for her while she was in filth to adorn her with beauty, makes her all the more passionate about keep herself from filth to be obedient to the good guy. So she lives this way till death, even forsaking all her life for the hope she has in the Love of one who died for her to save her from death.
May Jesus bless you.
