John Deere

An ad appeared in a newspaper that read: “Farmer wants to marry woman, 35, with tractor. Send picture of tractor.”

Some people really don’t understand the basic principle surrounding marriage. In the Bible, “help meet” (or “helpmate”) is a translation of the Hebrew phrase ‘ezer kenegdo from Genesis 2:18, which means a “helper suitable for him” or “a suitable helper.”  Eve was exactly what Adam needed. They say opposites attract, well if that is God’s plan, let it be. Before us, lies the decision to choose our plan or God’s.

Men like this verse.

Ephesians 5:22

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

Women like this verse.

Ephesians 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

If you don’t want a dear one, get a John Deere tractor, or you might end up with a dear John letter.

Give it some thought.
