“Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.” (Ruth, Ruth 1:16)
“These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.” (Jacob, Genesis 31:41)
Scripture gives us many examples of healthy and unhealthy relationships whether they’re familial, platonic, or romantic, so we’re doing a series where we highlight the positive examples set by several Power Pairs in the Bible as well as cautionary tales from a few Destructive Duos.
Theme: Building Relationships With Your In-Laws
Power Pair: Ruth and Naomi (Ruth 1 to Ruth 4)
Destructive Duo: Jacob (also known as Israel) and Laban (Genesis 27 to Genesis 31)
