“Marriage and the Sabbath had their origin, twin institutions for the glory of [Yahuwah] in the benefit of humanity.” Adventist Home, p. 340.
“[Yahuwah] Himself gave Adam a companion. He provided 'an help meet for him'--a helper corresponding to him--one who was fitted to be his companion, and who could be one with him in love and sympathy. Eve was created from a rib taken from the side of Adam, signifying that she was not to control him as the head, nor to be trampled under his feet as an inferior, but to stand by his side as an equal, to be loved and protected by him. A part of man, bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh, she was his second self; showing the close union and the affectionate attachment that should exist in this relation. 'For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it.' 'Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one.'” Adventist Home, p. 25.
"After the creation of Adam every living creature was brought before him to receive its name; he saw that to each had been given a companion, but among them 'there was not found an help meet for him.' Among all the creatures that [Yahuwah] had made on the earth, there was not one equal to man. And [Yahuwah] said, 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.' Man was not made to dwell in solitude; he was to be a social being. Without companionship the beautiful scenes and delightful employments of Eden would have failed to yield perfect happiness. Even communion with angels could not have satisfied his desire for sympathy and companionship. There was none of the same nature to love and to be loved.

Marriage is a divine institution of [Yahuwah] which man has perverted. [Yahuwah’s] plan for marriage and the home are clearly outlined in the Bible. We encourage you to take the quiz next to test your knowledge of biblical principles on marriage.
