Abraham and Sarah left home together late in life and waited decades for a son. Isaac and Rebekah were matched by a servant at a well, and Genesis says plainly that he loved her. Jacob worked seven years for Rachel, and the story says the years seemed like a few days because of his love for her. Ruth, a young widow from Moab, married Boaz after meeting him in a barley field, and their great-grandson was King David. Elkanah and Hannah, David and Abigail, and Esther and King Ahasuerus all get long chapters too. In the New Testament, Zacharias and Elisabeth are the parents of John the Baptist, Joseph and Mary raise Jesus, and Priscilla and Aquila are a married pair of tentmakers who work alongside Paul. The Bible also keeps its cautionary couples, such as Ahab and Jezebel, Samson and Delilah, and Ananias and Sapphira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the greatest love story in the Bible?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many readers would say Ruth and Boaz. Ruth is a foreign widow with nothing, gathering leftover grain to feed her mother-in-law. Boaz notices her, quietly tells his workers to drop extra handfuls on purpose, and makes sure she is safe. When she asks him to marry her, he goes straight to the city gate to settle it. Others pick Jacob and Rachel, since he worked seven years for her and then seven more. The Song of Solomon is a whole book of love poetry between a bride and a groom, with lines like many waters cannot quench love. But the Bible itself points to a bigger love story behind all of these. The prophets describe God as a husband who will not give up on a wandering people, and the last pages of Revelation describe a wedding feast. Read that way, every human couple in the Bible is a small picture of the larger one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which couples in the Bible had a hard marriage?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite a few, and the Bible does not tidy them up. Abraham twice passed Sarah off as his sister to protect himself. Jacob was tricked into marrying Leah when he wanted Rachel, and the two sisters competed for years. Elkanah loved Hannah, but his second wife taunted her until she could not eat. David and Michal began with her saving his life and ended in bitter words after he danced before the ark. David&rsquo;s marriage to Bathsheba started with a terrible wrong against her husband Uriah. Hosea married a woman who left him, and he went and brought her home. Job&rsquo;s wife, grieving ten children, told him to curse God and die. These stories are part of why people trust the Bible on marriage. It shows jealousy, waiting, betrayal and grief inside real homes, and it also shows forgiveness, loyalty and couples who came through. Nobody reading it needs to pretend their own home is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the Bible say about marriage?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It starts on the second page. Genesis 2:24 says a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh. Jesus repeats that line and adds that what God has joined together, no one should pull apart. Proverbs says whoever finds a wife finds a good thing. Ecclesiastes says two are better than one, because if one falls the other can lift them up, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. The law of Moses even gave a new husband a year at home, free from war, to cheer up his wife. In the New Testament, Ephesians tells husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it, and Peter calls husband and wife heirs together of the grace of life. Taken together, the picture is a partnership built on loyalty, kindness and self-giving love, with God as the third strand holding it together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many questions are in this couples in the Bible quiz, and can I play it again?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The bank holds 52 questions, and every one was written for this quiz alone, so there is no general Bible quiz hiding behind a romantic title. A round is twelve questions pulled at random, with the four answers shuffled each time, so a second or third round feels new. After each answer you see the verse it comes from and a line about the story, which means a wrong guess still teaches you something. People use it at wedding showers, anniversary dinners, date nights, marriage classes and small groups, and it works well read aloud, with one person as quizmaster and couples playing as teams. Nothing is saved, there is no sign-up, and your score stays with you unless you choose to share it. Scroll up, start a round of the couples in the Bible quiz, and see how many of these pairs you already know.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bible Trivia &middot; Couples Bible Quiz: Couples in the Bible Love stories, the sweet, the messy and the downright scandalous &mdash; a man who worked seven years for his bride and said it felt like a few days, a proposal on a threshing floor at midnight, a wife who lowered her husband out of a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_wp_convertkit_post_meta":{"form":"-1","landing_page":"0","tag":"0","restrict_content":"0"},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-117943","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bgodinspired.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/117943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bgodinspired.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bgodinspired.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bgodinspired.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bgodinspired.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117943"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bgodinspired.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/117943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117944,"href":"https:\/\/bgodinspired.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/117943\/revisions\/117944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bgodinspired.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
