III God created marriage so to provide meaningful companionship – Gen. 2:18-20
"Then the LORD God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him. Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him."
God saw that man needed an ally, a close intimate companion to share his life and work and pleasure
Psalm 121:1- 2
A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth."
Marriage is the relationship in which we should worship and grow to know the Lord together and share the significant issues of life together. It is a relationship in which we work together to carry out God’s mandate to spread godliness and to compliment each other in our walk with the Lord. To become all that God want us to be and to hold each other accountable for the covenant that we have between ourselves and our Heavenly Father.
Did you get married to provide meaningful companionship to someone? Not meaningful in your eyes, but meaningful in God's eyes. Together as a team to do the work that God has called you to do, and believe me everyone, every married couple has a special purpose in God's eyes. Are you the kind of person who always has to have the attention focused on you? Or are you willing to compromise to do God's will. Do you study God's word together? pray together? worship together? Brothers, do you view your wives as allies, helpmates or simply bed companions? Marriage is a microcosm of God's Kingdom. The church is the bride of Christ and Jesus Christ is the Groom. Together we must follow that example in being allies together to fulfill God's will here on earth. Examine your marriage in light of these words. If your marriage is not one that is working in concert with God's will, you need to get on your knees and pray for forgiveness, and also repent and get in alignment with what God wants you to be.
