Genesis 2:18-25
God Says It Is Not Good For Man to Be Alone
18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
God tells us that it is not good for us to be alone...Even though God would have been with and be with Adam in the Garden of Eden, He saw that was not enough...We are made for relationships with others...We need a partner, a family, friends, and social relationships...When one lacks in these different areas of relationships, then problems with one's emotional health comes up...That is one of the reasons God tells us that it is not good for us to be alone...God created us to have relationships with others, and He created Eve to start the process of the first family and Adam's and his wife's family needs...
