Gen 2:18 "It is not good that ,man should be alone, I will make an help meet for him."
Helper-companion
Meet-fit, a suitable helper
I am by no means an expert when it comes to marriage, but I know I would not trade in the last 19 years for anything. As I start these devotionals, my goal is to help people out in their marriage journey. I am disturbed at the statistics of the divorce rate. Half of all marriages, one third of all Christian Marriages end in divorce. I am not going to solve our problems in the first devotion, but I will do the best I can.
Gen 2:18, God saw that man needed a Help Meet. If it wasn't for my wife helping me out in the ministry, children, marriage, or anything I would not be writing this devotional. I see husbands being mean, disrespecting, and treating their wives as a second class citizen. I always heard that the wife is to not walk behind or ahead, but beside her husband-Gen 2:21-23. Couples should want to help each other out in the home or with the children. I help my wife out with everything, but the dishes. I am working on myself in that area.
How can a marriage work? By doing what God intended early-to help each other out. If you are reading this today, and your struggling with this issue (weather your a husband or a wife). I am asking you to ask God for you to be a Help Meet-not a Hinder Meet. Lets get started on the right foot. Ask your spouse, "what can I do to help you?". You will put a smile upon their face. So husbands get off the couch, and wives get off the computer and help each other.
