The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” — Genesis 2:18.
Two powerful principles are presented here. First, God looks out for us and blesses us with what we need most. Second, God made most of us for a relationship with him and a husband or wife someone of the opposite gender to be our complement. Yes, Matthew 19:10-11 and 1 Corinthians 7:32-38 both emphasize that some are gifted to be single, and these folks should seek to live a single life fully and faithfully honoring God. Most, however, were made to be complete by sharing our lives with another. Marriage and a godly spouse are gifts from God and are designed into the fabric of our humanity. Let’s live like they are!
