Since this is about Espresso Coffee, I would ask....
1. Name 3 places you can buy an Espresso machine if you or you learn that your future husband likes to drink espresso?
2. If you had $200 and were to shop for an Espresso machine, would you consider shopping thrift stores for a nearly new one for perhaps$20 or would you choose a new one that might be $200?
3. How would you test the machine before buying as is OR. would you rather buy it, take it home to test ?
Answers:
1. Local retail stores, online, thrift stores/ yard sales
2. A wise wife communicates well with her husband and knows what he wants. She also might prefer a brand new machine: But a frugal wife will pray for one and seek the secondhand market for a like new one.
3. She will search online for "how to" videos, talk to her husband and learn that there are electrical outlets at the thrift stores and garage sales. There's water in the restroom sink that can be used to check if the heating elements work. Just plug it in to test and pour in the water. If the seller used it, ask questions about it.
I've seen pro machines at the thrift store and some that have the box they were bought in. Some people are compulsive buyers and will donate appliances when they don't use them after the initial thrill wears off.
Then they are ready to be tested, then sterilized after buying them at a 90% discount. However, some people have an aversion to anything not in a factory package. That's not necessarily sinful.
There are lessons about the Proverbs 31 woman that can apply.
How does Espresso tie into a young lady class on marriage topics?
Easy.
1. Is the man saved?
2. Does he love the Lord?
3. Does he consistently have a morning devotion of a cup of coffee while reading his Bible?
99% Probably don't meet those three requirements.
