The Marriage Institution
Isaac And Rebekah. "Marriage is honorable in all." Heb. 13:4.
1. After creating man, what did God say?
“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone.” Gen. 2:18.
2. What, therefore, did God say He would make?
“I will make him an help meet for him.” Same verse.
Note.—Not a helpmeet nor a helpmate, but—two words—a help meet for him; that is, fit or suitable for him. The word meet in the original means a front, a part opposite, a counterpart, or mate. Man's companion, or help, was to correspond to him. Each was to be suited to the other's needs.
