“It Is Not Good For The
Man To Be Alone”
The Lord God said,
"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just
right for him."
The Lord God had
formed all of the wild animals. He had also formed all of the birds of the air.
He had made all of them out of the ground. He brought them to the man to see
what names he would give them. And the name the man gave each living creature
became its name.
So the man gave names
to all of the livestock. He gave names to all of the birds of the air. And he
gave names to all of the wild animals.
But Adam didn't find
a helper that was right for him. So the Lord God caused him to fall into a deep
sleep. While the man was sleeping, the Lord God took out one of his ribs. He
closed up the opening that was in his side.
Then the Lord God
made a woman. He made her from the rib he had taken out of the man. And he
brought her to him.
The man said,
"Her bones have come from my bones. Her body has come from my body. She
will be named 'woman,' because she was taken out of a man."
That's why a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife.
The two of them will become one.
The man and his wife
were both naked. They didn't feel any shame.
Genesis
2:18-25
Marriage is a great
unifier. It is blessed and sanctified by God. Marriage God’s way brings a man
and a woman together to honor Him and help society. Celebrate marriage for the
ways it brings a man and a woman together in God’s name.
God created
husband and wife to complement each other.
