Biblical Power Couples: Priscilla and Aquila

Happy Sunday Everyone.  

I skipped church today and slept in.  So as the day has worn on, I've felt inclined to get some bible in my spirit today.  Feeling like I also need to make a blog pot since I haven't in almost a week.  

Thus, I bring you: Power Couples of the Bible. 

Priscilla and Aquila were tentmakers that were exiled under an emperor that decided that all Jewish people were to leave Rome, in the year 49.  

They lived with Paul for 18 months and according to bible scholars were considered a part of the early converts of Judaism to Christianity.  During this time they lived, worked and travel with Paul and are considered as part of the Seventy Disciples.  That is, some of the earlier students of Jesus.

They are both mentioned several times in the New Testament. They are, however,  always mentioned together. Never separately.  Being described as each other mate, friend, partner and companion should be something that every marriage strives for. Inseparable and equal. 

How do you and your mate define your equality with each other?
