God said it was not God for the man to be alone. He had mission (a career), and he had companionship, but there was something missing, intimate relationship with another human being. God created woman, taking part of man and making woman, the other half of humanity, and then brought the two together. God is the designer of gender and the author of marriage. God created humans as male and female, and designed them to be together in marriage.
Men and women are different, and that is intentional. There are things that men are designed to do and things that women are designed to do. One gender is not superior to the other, and both are essential. God made man, then then He made woman and brought her to the man. God made man in His image, and then took part of that and made woman, and then brought them together to be joined as one in marriage. God uniquely made humanity as male and female to represent Him to creation, and He intended for the two to be joined as one in marriage in order to reflect Him to the rest of creation.
It is in marriage that the two unique representatives of God's image come together, and when they come together as one, life is created. Three is no shame in this intimate relationship. It is meant to be a beautiful expression of worship, and it is something incredible that God blessed married couples with to enjoy each other.
God created men and women to reflect Him to creation. He blessed them with each other, making each gender specifically, intentionally, and beautifully. Let us embrace who God created us to be, fully becoming the men and women He intended for us to be at creation. Let us celebrate marriage as God created it, preserving it as a representation of Him.
Fight the lion, 1 Peter 5.1-11
TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!
