"The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man
to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
Genesis 2:18 NIV
to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
Genesis 2:18 NIV
"So the Lord God
made him fall into a
deep sleep, and He took
out one of the man's ribs. Then after closing the man's side, the Lord
made a woman
out of the rib."
Genesis 2:21- 22 NIV
Woman, therefore; was not created from Adam's head, so she would not be set above him, nor from his feet to feel beneath him or from his back to walk behind. But from his side to be loved and protected - as she walks next to him.
For the ribs protect the heart and it is the heart that holds God's Love. As Jesus goes before - it is His intention - they follow Him together...

Side by Side

This explains why a man leaves his parents and is joined to his wife...
In such a way that the two now become one - together for life.
So in the sight of God and loved ones as you say I do...
You pledge your hearts in marriage - promising to remain true.
May your union be one where God's honored and always glorified...
So that the gift of each other brings blessings that are multiplied.
Where disagreements are reconciled through forgiveness and grace...
And your faith is increased no matter what obstacles you face.
May the One who brought you together now deepen your love...
Strengthening your commitment as He guides you from above.
May His Peace surround and sustain you throughout the coming years...
As you discover how love protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres!
And may that love continue to grow within a forgiving heart...
Cared for with kindness and respect so the beauty won't soon depart.
May the life you'll now share as God joins you as one...
Be filled with the joy that comes from knowing His Son.
And may you feel - understood and cherished in married life...
Sharing your hopes and dreams - together as husband and wife.
To have and to hold always - and as you walk side by side...
May you travel the Lighted Path and in His Love abide.
"Above all, love each other deeply..."
1 Peter 4:10 NIV
