Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." (Genesis 2:18 ESV)
When it comes to marriage, I have really thought about what couples should think about when they may be going through a tough time. Often when going to a wedding, guests are asked to share advice for a successful marriage with the newly married couple.
The key is really to make sure that the person you marry is the one God has chosen for you. But how do you know who that is? In my case, I was looking in all the wrong places. But when God saw that my heart was ready, He brought her into my life. And now there isn't a day that goes by (even those when we may struggle, argue, or just disagree) that I don't thank God for His gift to me.
Recently, I have realized the important of the passage from Genesis above. My wife is my complement, my helper. It is funny how comments are always made about the most important words a husband can learn are "yes dear ". But stop and think. Do not just say the words to pacify, but take the time to listen to your wife. After all, God created her for you as your helper. Open your heart and mind and let her help you. You will be amazed at what you learn and how much more enriched your life together becomes.
