Genesis 2:18-25
And the LORD GOD said it is not good that the man should be
alone; I will make him a help meet for him. (Verse 18)
At creation God created a helpmate (woman) for
Adam to be his companion, friend and a shoulder to lean on. When the man saw
her he said “this is the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh”. Looking
at the female, from the concept of creation, they are meant to be help mates to
the male, to encourage, motivate, assist, support and be strong where her
partner is weak, to correct him when he is wrong. As time went on, the helpmate
turned hell mate when she was deceived (tricked) by the devil. It is sad to see
couples these days fighting, getting divorced, misunderstanding and hating each
other, deviating from God’s original plan for marriage.
I have had opportunities of interacting with
couples and taken time to study their relationship and interactions, a lot of
couple are public actors and family martial artists (they know all the rules of
attack and self defense). All these fight, divorce, misunderstanding and hate
in the home are traceable to; a) Faulty communication: a lot of
relationships fail due to faulty communication flow b) Misunderstanding: There
is need for lovers to have in-depth comprehension of one another from spoken
word, body language, mood change, and gestures Amos 3:3 c) Doubt: a good
relationship must move through the process of compliance, internalization and
identification by believing in each other (having the same passion for your
family vision and living it together) d) Inappropriate Love: love is being
responsible, commitment, and being faithful to your partner.
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be more loving
and responsible to my spouse (Amen)
