Genesis 2:15-20, “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
“And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them.”
“And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So, Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.”
Rephrased, “Consequently, God placed the man in the Garden of Eden with the task to care for and safeguard it. The Lord God gave the man permission to consume fruits from any tree in the garden as He commanded. But you must not consume the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil; for if you do, then death will come to you without fail.”
“The Lord God saw that man should not be isolated and He decided to provide him with a companion. This companion was meant to be equal in stature and abilities to the man himself. From the dust, the Lord God crafted every creature of the fields and all birds of the air.”
“Then He presented them to Adam so that he could name them. Whatever Adam named each living being, that was its official identity. Adam named every living creature and animal, but he did not find anyone who could be his equal. There was no one else who could fulfill the same companion role to him.”
Man can indeed be alone; however, God created woman as a companion because He understood that man should never be alone. She is the equal counterpart in the eyes of the Lord, with her own life and love, gifts, talents and calling. In fact, she is a helper that was designed to assist and empower man to fulfill his purpose and vice versa.
Man would not be able to live a complete life without his companion by his side. They are meant for each other as two halves of one body which together work much better giving each other strength and support on their journey together. As such, it is important for both man and woman to understand that their value lies in who they are together in unity rather than making them mutually exclusive entities fighting for superiority over one another.
Genesis 2:21-25, “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs and closed the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.”
“And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
“Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
Rephrased, “In order to create a companion for Adam, the Lord God put him in a deep sleep and took one of his ribs. He closed the flesh at the spot where it was taken and then used that rib to form a woman. Finally, He brought her to Adam.”
“Adam proclaimed: “Woman is part of me; flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones. She shall be called Woman, for she was taken out of Man.”
“As per God’s command, a man and woman should separate from their parents to build a family bond. Both were unclothed but were not embarrassed about each other’s body. They joined together as one unit, sharing an intimate connection.”
The importance of companionship is something that cannot be overstated — and yet, it’s something many of us overlook. Just as God created man, He formed woman with an equal life, love, gifts, talents and calling in her own unique way. Women bring balance to our lives as they are both equal and understand the opposite sex in a different way than men do. Women serve as a great complement to men — providing us with emotional support, collaboration, motivation and more.
Together men and women create a synergy that allows us to take on even the toughest tasks. Overlooking the need for companionship ultimately leads to isolation which can have dire consequences for mental health and quality of life. Thus, it is essential that men remember that God blessed us with not only a purpose but also the love of an equal in order to achieve His will for our lives.
Genesis 1:26-28, “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Rephrased, “Afterwards, God declared, “Let Us create man in Our own image, resembling Us. Let him have control over the sea creatures, the birds of the sky, and all animals on the Earth – plus every crawling creature that scurries across it.” Thus, God made mankind in His likeness; He fashioned them according to His appearance; He created male and female. God gave them His blessing then and commanded them to procreate and fill the earth. He also gave them authority over all living things in the seas, sky and land.”
Man was created by God with life, love, gifts, talents, and a calling. These attributes give man the ability to learn, grow, create and achieve great things. However, he was not intended to travel this journey alone. By forming woman as an equal to man, God provided him with the help and support of a comparable equal who understands his needs and can navigate life’s adversity with him.
Just as God gave man life, love, gifts, talents and calling so too He formed woman with equal stature in these areas. She may be different than man, but she is still equal in her own right providing him with invaluable help and insight on his journey of life – her chief purpose being that of helper. Together they can achieve ever greater heights reflecting their very difference yet profound unity through their complementarity towards each other’s ambitions.
Proverbs 18:20-24, “A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips, he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. The poor man uses entreaties, But the rich answers roughly. A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
Rephrased, “What we say has a huge impact on our destiny; we should always be mindful of the words that come out of our mouths. Our speech and language can determine success and failure; those who speak positively are sure to reap its rewards.”
“Whoever finds a faithful partner will find true joy and be blessed by the Lord. The disadvantaged typically plead in hopes of getting help, whereas the wealthy often respond with a cold and callous attitude. To make and keep friends, one must be friendly and generous. But there is no better friend than a brother who is always close by your side.”
Taking the plunge into marriage is a wonderful experience, one which many people feel is blessed by God. People from more disadvantaged backgrounds may not have the same attitude towards it as those with more wealth. However, no matter who you are and what your background is, having true friends can be a real blessing and make all the difference in life’s tough times.
God created humanity as male and female to love and be united. Throughout the Bible, we were meant to find a partner that is our equal in every way. This partner should not only be physically comparable with us but also spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. From the time of Creation, God ordained that together we would accomplish more than by ourselves alone.
We are wired for connection and when partnered with someone who complements us, people can achieve far more than if they remained alone. It’s no wonder then that throughout the Bible there are many exemplifications of this kind of bond being celebrated. We see Christ loving the Church and partners loving each other’s presence in a spiritual way demonstrating just how much God values relationships within His creation.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Rephrased, “It’s true that two can achieve more than one because they support each other in difficult times. When one of the two falls, they are encouraged by the other to get back on their feet again. However, if a person is alone, there is no one to offer assistance when needed.”
“Having someone to lie down with can give a sense of warmth and security, as it is difficult for one to defend themselves. However, when two people come together to support each other in challenging times, it will be harder for anyone to overpower them. With the strength of three people coming together, an unbreakable bond is created.”
We were created by God to love and care for each other in His divine time, place and season. Have you ever felt a deep and unbreakable connection with another person that makes you feel complete?
It’s important to be guided by your heart, mind and emotion when it comes to already committed relationships. Love is a serious matter, not a game to play around with – and people’s hearts are not toys for you to mess around with. God does not put these feelings in us when it’s wrong.
No matter how you look at it, adultery is a serious offense and something that should not be taken lightly. Being married means making a commitment to your partner and going outside of that commitment is wrong. Don’t try to justify it; just move on with your life. Your emotions and feelings may come and go, but God will always guide you on the right path to finding true love.
He will show you the ideal partner that He has chosen for you. While God will undoubtedly bless you with the desires of your heart, you must align yourself with His plans for you to get them. Adam sets a positive example of diligently carrying out tasks God has appointed him. This hard work was rewarded with the gift of Eve as a companion, demonstrating that when we strive for excellence, God will provide for our needs.
According to sacred teachings, it is God’s intention for us to have strong, loving relationships with our partners and remain supportive of one another in both good times and bad. Husband and wife relationships are sacred, embodying the love of Christ as ordained by God since the dawn of time. Marriage is a truly special bond that reflects divine love and serves as an image of how the Church should show its own devotion to Christ.
Colossians 3:18-25, “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.”
“Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.”
Rephrased, “Wives should have a certain level of respect and obedience to their husbands, as instructed through the Lord. Similarly, husbands must demonstrate love and commitment towards their wives, without allowing any bitterness to seep in. It is important for kids to follow their parents’ directions, and this pleases the Lord. On the other hand, fathers should avoid being too hard on their children so that they do not become discouraged.”
“Bondservants, show reverence to your earthly masters and fulfill their commands with integrity and dedication. Do not serve merely to please them or seek personal rewards but serve out of respect for God. Whatever you do, do it with all your heart, being mindful that it is the Lord for whom you are working. You will receive a reward of inheritance from the Lord in due time. On the other hand, any wrongdoings will be punished accordingly with no bias or prejudice. Ultimately, serve the Lord Christ faithfully.”
In the beginning, God intended for us to show compassion and love for our fellow human beings. He crafted us, male and female, in His own image to cultivate meaningful connections, exchange information, experiences, and savor in each other’s progress. This is why God gave us partners – so that we would not be alone.
We should venerate and revere this blessed union instilled by God, who implored us to reciprocate His love with unparalleled ardor, much like Christ’s love for the Church. May all couples discover the strength and support in each other that will help them reach their highest potential. By being devoted and always there for one another, they can take comfort in the understanding and love shared between them.
Ephesians 5:22-28, “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.”
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So, husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.”
Rephrased, “As wives, our goal should be to honor and serve our husbands in the same way that we would seek to honor God. This is something we are strongly encouraged to do. The husband should be the leader and guide in his marriage, like how Jesus leads His Church.”
He (Christ) not only serves as the “Head” but is also the Savior of all believers. As followers of Christ, it is our duty to uphold the teachings of the Bible and practice what we preach. This includes wives showing respect and loyalty to their husbands in all affairs.”
“Men, cherish your wives just as Christ cherished the Church and showed His devotion by sacrificing Himself for her. He desires to purify and cleanse her through the washing of water with His word. So that He could present a glorious church to Himself without any spot, wrinkle, or blemish; but one that was holy and perfect. Husbands should love their wives with the same kind of love they have for themselves, since loving one’s wife is equivalent to loving oneself.”
The word “Head” refers to the Greek word kafale, which means source like a faucet is the source to draw water. Therefore, husbands be the source of unconditional love to your wife and as Christ is the eternal reservoir of unconditional love for the Church and His follows.
Wives connect with your husband with same level of unconditional love because you are an equal source to your family because you are the Kangen ionizer designed to purify, enrich, and enhance their lives and yours. However, if you are not connected to your faucet, you are an empty vessel this applies to both of you. Let Christ be the eternal faucet and connect yourselves with Him, so you are both align with the living water of Christ and working equally with the promises and provisions of God in love.
