Now comes the description of the Bride, who is now the ARMY of the Lord. Throughout this description we see that no longer is she living for her own pleasure, but for His pleasure alone....(See verse 6 particularly)
Compare this with the Groom's previous description of the Bride in the Painful Love Stage - how has she developed since that time ?
