The Origin of Marriage | Origins | Part 4 | Scott Chapman

As we read through Genesis 1, we see a recurring pattern: God creates and declares his creation good. Over and over, we read, “It was good.” Then, in Genesis 2, it says – “It is not good for the man to be alone.” Adam was in the garden, communing with God, yet God said it was not good for him to be alone. We learn here that we have been hardwired for relationships with one another. The passage goes on to say that God created a suitable helper for Adam. In the original language, it says that Eve was a perfectly aligned opposite. Men and women were intentionally created with distinct attributes yet have equal worth in the eyes of God. God created Eve from the rib of Adam, symbolizing that men and women would go through life connected, walking side by side as they face life together.
