Marriage, Pucker or Duck! - Part 2

Taking our eyes off of divorce, and setting our hearts on marriage requires an understanding of marriage. In part 1, we established - Marriage was (and is!) God's idea. Gen 2:18

Today, we will look at the "Why?" of God's idea.

Looking at Gen 2:18 for our answer... The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”

From the text... Why marriage?

Because it was (and is!) good.

Why is it good?

The man, no longer alone, will have a suitable helper.

Whether you like it, or not... Your primary role (as a wife) is to be a helper suitable for your own husband. And it is good.

Whether you believe it, or not... You (as a wife) have been fashioned and are equipped to be a helper suitable for your own husband. And it is good.

You are the jelly on his PB & J. The butter on his bread. Don't laugh, it's true.

On Monday, we will continue to look at the beauty of "We" from combining He and She.
