And the Lord said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help mate. (Genesis 2:18)

Who, other than God, could have imagined man and woman? In the very beginning, God had a plan. He took man and pulled woman from him. Each one equal, yet very different. Similar in many ways, yet created one for another. He created them for fellowship with each other and with Him.

Man and woman were formed to compliment each other. The union would be forever a mystery yet would show the world what the relationship with Christ and His church should look like: Christ loving and sacrificing for His bride; the church making her Lord and Savior shine. Only God can help us live out this equation; one plus equal ome.

In a world with so much gender confusion, be not confused. Marriage is a sacred union, important to God's plan. To honor it is to honor Christ. In order to live it out, both must give sacrificially. May others see Jesus by the way we live out our commitments.
