When God says...
"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord." (Proverbs 18:22 NKJV)
He points us back to the beginning: - Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” (Genesis 2:18 ESV)
We are designed for companionship. Man and woman belong with each other. That's how God meant it to be. Without each other, each is incomplete. Alone, man lacks his better half. A good wife makes man complete at his best; made whole and inseparable by God, as Lord Jesus proclaimed- 'the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together let not man separate.” (Mark 10:8b, 9 ESV)
When God established marriage in the garden, He made it a tripartite relationship with Christ Jesus by faith the binding force to weld two into one. She, the wife, is a part of man and a gift from God, as it is written: "Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:22-24 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
