Why did God bring woman to man? (Submitting to God)

Why did God bring woman to man? The Hebrew word translated “helper” means, “someone who assists another to reach fulfillment.” It is used elsewhere in the Old Testament to refer to someone coming to “rescue another.” The term translated “cleave” means “to glue, to cling.” Marriage begins with a leaving of all other relationships. To have a successful marriage, the husband and wife must leave and cleave, sever and bond, loosen and secure, depart from and attach to. The text implies that if it is necessary to leave your father and mother, then certainly all lesser ties must also be broken, changed, or left behind. The man’s primary commitment must be to his wife (and hers to him!). He still must honor his parents, but a leaving must take place. Otherwise, this can be extremely detrimental to the marriage. Some men (and women) find it very hard to break free. For more about
