You know what the golden rule of good theater, screenplay, & writing is ?
Show - don’t tell! Or if you must use words, - find innovative, unorthodox ways to impress the image into the brain of the viewer/reader.
That’s something we also advise people who’re seeking a partner - you can’t be boring & expect people to reach out to you!
Our Lord knows this. Oh so clearly does He know this.
Instead of just telling us to memorize His caution to “be equally yoked” , He actually shows us the absolute disaster of unequally-yoked couples (like Samson and his deadly lady love)…….then leaves us to draw our own conclusions.
And don’t their stories drive the point home - with a vengeance!
Just think of how many of us so deeply relate to these stormy, broken, yet miraculously guided lives of so many ancient, yet strangely familiar humans?
Tired, cynical Sarah, loyal-to-a-fault Uriah, and shy foreigner Ruth - God could have left out all their personal details - their private convos, what went wrong, what held them together, what tore them apart.
Yet… He chose to keep them in, knowing HOW MUCH they would help His future children!!
Their stories are far less tidy (and hence way more useful) than most dating advice you'll hear today.
And that's why we made this, friend!
Introducing: Bible Tip-Ins of Famous Couples
From our subscriber-exclusive newsletter content, we’ve assembled 11 beautiful, double-sided Bible tip-ins, showcasing famous (or infamous 😬) biblical couples, that can live right inside your Bible, next to the exact passages they come from.
Our team personally crafted these tip-ins, making sure to include:
The historical background, rooted in Scripture — with a side of dry humor
How they met
Actionable takeaways - for couples, those actively looking for a spouse, and anyone who just wants to be more Christ-like in human relationships
If you love Bible study, devotional time, and keeping His Word actually in mind - this is for you!
Why tip-ins? Why not just read about them?
Well, if you’re a visual learner like most of our team - you know the long-lasting impact a good picture/design has on your brain. Especially one you can physically handle.
A tip-in sits where the story sits. You open that passage again in a month, in a year, in the middle of a relationship decision - and the tip-in grabs your eyeballs, & you see the whole story flash back in an instant.
There’s no separate notebook to lose. No scrolling for tired thumbs.
It's a type of Bible journaling with a point: not decoration for its own sake, but a deeper understanding of the personal relationships the Lord explicitly recorded for our benefit.
Print them out, tip them in - and let the couples preach to you their unique sermon directly.
How it works
You download this digitally - no physical product is shipped, so you get it straight away:
Purchase the bundle on Etsy.
Download the PDF file, which gives you the link to access your printables.
Print at home or through your preferred print service.
Then enjoy! Tip them into your Bible and use them in study, devotional time, or journaling.
They also work beautifully beyond solo study — for group Bible study, young adult groups, and couples working through these stories together.
- Real talk before you hit download -
A tip-in alone won't fix your dating life or walk with God.
But it’s a break, a pause, to sit back & learn from those who’ve walked the planet before you. The faithful, the foolish, the patient, even the murderous - they enable us to learn their lessons, without paying the full price.
