There are few spaces where Christian, single men talk about preparing for marriage. So, here in the Good Steward Podcast, I want to share insight into how the Lord God prepares and positions men for marriage. In Genesis 2, God provides a model for preparing and positioning men for marriage. First, God presents Himself as "Lord God." implying an established relationship between man and Him (Genesis 2:4). He then recognizes man's need for a companion (verse 18). Then, He presents him with the opportunity to name the animals, allowing him to explore his identity and purpose (verses 19-20). Finally, God creates a woman from man's rib, highlighting the importance of unity and partnership in marriage (verses 21-24). Through these actions, the Lord God sets the stage for a healthy and fulfilling marital relationship based on companionship, self-awareness, and mutual respect.
