Not Good (Usually) to Remain Unmarried (Genesis 2:18)

At the end of the first five days of creation, God saw that what he had made was good. But on Day 6, the words “not good” make their first appearance. God’s world will be incomplete and imperfect, until he has instituted marriage.Music Credit: J. S.
