It just means you smart not to fall into the trap.
Doesnt the bible say do not make vows you cant keep. Most people cant keep their vows they make when they marry.

Jesus doesnt need to make a vow, he always keeps his word.

I have half-jokingly warned my two teenage daughters that any boyfriend they bring home will not be good enough for me. And yet, if they brought home a drug-crazed, convicted axe murderer, I would be more likely to welcome him than a first-century Jewish father would welcome Jesus as a son-in-law. Marriage to him would bring scandal on the whole family.

Meh...the conclusion of the article just seemed to be "Jesus suffered along with us" as if being single is a trial and full of suffering, and it's nothing more than a cross to bear, and that's it...

Let me know if I'm missing something though. But the conclusion didn't sound that positive.

That's true but what I liked was that He's perfect but noone wanted Him and He was single and not because there was something wrong with Him.
