THE COMPANION

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)
Here are several reasons why God created women:

1. So that a man wouldn’t have to be alone. Men were not meant to live in isolation or fulfill their calling on their own.
2. So that a man can have a woman as his enhancer who shares his vision and works with him to accomplish what they were both created to do.
The woman takes who the man is and what the man has and enlarges and extends it. In this way, his leadership (a man is a spiritual leader for his family) is effective and their shared vision becomes reality.
3. So that a man would have someone to give to, someone to share his vision with, someone to be a part of his life. Isn’t it sad that many men don’t see women in this way?
4. So that a man would have a woman as his life companion.
“To companion” means to accompany, to attend, and even to guide someone. It is in this sense that a woman is a man’s companion.
5. So that a man would have an heir with him of the gracious gift of life (1 Peter 3:7)
6. To assist the man in fulfilling God’s plan for his life. A woman is a helper for a man. A helper doesn’t take over, rather, she assists.
And the list goes on. You know some other reasons?...I would like to hear them from you in your comment :)

God bless,
Dee

The idea of having a female "assistant" is nice but I prefer to treat women as equals. I would like my wife to be happy. Else what would I do with the love I have to give?
