Top Meet-Cutes in the Scriptures

Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve | My Jewish Learning

We have to start with the OGs. These two didn’t know anything (literally), but they knew that they were supposed to be together from the moment they saw each other.

 

Isaac and Rebekah

It played out like a modern-day romcom, because the first time these two lovebirds saw each other, Rebekah jumped off her camel and asked her bestie about the hottie she was seeing. The rest is history.

 

Joseph and Potiphar’s wife

Less “cute” and more “meet”, but there’s no denying that there was a lot of sexual tension in their interactions.

 

Alma and Amulek

Choices: Learning from Alma and Amulek

Platonic love can still have meet-cutes, and who had more platonic love than these bros? They shared food at their first hangout and the rest is history.

 

Jesus and Peter, Andrew, James, and John

He gave them sick nicknames immediately. (Well, not Andrew…) Who wouldn’t have gone with him?

 

Ruth and Boaz

undefined

Ruth’s husband died, so his cousins debated law and leveraged land in order for one to marry her. Despite that, the story is actually kind of sweet. Nothing more romantic than a goel saving the day.

 

David and Bathsheba

David and Bathsheba - The Great Temptation (Biblical Stories Explained)

David saw Bathsheba and he was immediately ready to do anything to be with her. How romantic!

 

Jacob and Rachel, then Leah, then Bilhah, then Zilpah

Bride-Price: The Story of Jacob's Marriage to Rachel and Leah - TheTorah.com

Dude fell in love right away and committed to working seven years. Laban changed his mind, so Jacob married Leah and worked for seven more years for Rachel. Get yourself a man as committed as Jacob.

 

Solomon and the woman

The worst scene from Arrested Development. : r/arresteddevelopment

Just go read Song of Solomon. You’ll see.
