God, the author of marriage, created marriage for a purpose, and one of the purposes is companionship.
COMPANIONSHIP.
Companionship is a relationship among couples for the purpose of complementing each other in the area of weakness, lack, and needs.
It is a product of intimacy. Companionship comes from the closeness that exists in the relationship of a couple.
Companionship remains the agent of long life, also an antidote to loneliness.
The God that created them male and female knows that man can best survive in the company of a fellow human being.
Companionship begins with communication, and communication, as far as relationship is concerned, is about pouring out one’s mind to a loved one who can help discuss it and come to a conclusion.
Who is a companion?
• A companion is a fellow human being who is close in relationship.
• is someone who has become a part of your life, the one you spend more of your time with that gives you joy.
Reasons For A Companion in Marriage.
Having given us the picture of a companion and companionship above, it is important to touch the reasons why God created marriage and what companionship does in the marriage.
The bible says in
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Kjv
Good news 18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.”
The bible says, “it is not good for the man to be alone.” That means loneliness can kill, can frustrate, and can make life miserable.
And the plan of God is not for man to go through any of these.
In the case of Adam, God did not wait until loneliness set in before making a companion available for him. He sorted that at the beginning for loneliness not to surface at all.
He made Eve for Adam as his companion. They do things in common.
The things they do in common include:
1. Secret sharing.
A companion is the person one can share his secret with and can keep it away from an intruder.
2. Communication.
Having someone to pour out one’s mind to at anytime goes a long way to keeping him or her active and psychologically fit, even alive. Communication is a life wire to marriage.
3. Sexual intercourse.
According to human’s nature, being the higher mama that we are, we need constant sex as husband and wife. It promotes good health, and intimacy.
Ideally, it is not what one person can do or accomplish alone. It involves a partner who is a companion in marriage.
4. Happiness.
They are happy together. Where one is down, the other will lift him or her up
Loneliness has made many people lose their happiness. Where there is a true companion, there is joy and happiness.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
9. Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
5. Accomplishment of purpose.
Purpose accomplishment in marriage comes in different areas, among are:
a). Child bearing, almost every human being love to have at least a child of his or her own in life, but to achieve this requires the contribution of a man and a woman. It is not what anyone can accomplish alone.
b). The training of the child, both in moral and education, requires a collective effort of the male and female who produce the child. It is not enough for a couple to collectively engage in sex, they must also collectively handle whatever that comes as an outcome of their action.
c). Running their visions together, a vision runs by two people is quick to be achieved than the one left to just an individual to run. This is a support to the quote that says, “if you want to move fast, walk alone, but if you would like to go far, walk together”
6. Decision-making.
Decision-making is a critical thing in human’s life. So many people are crying in life today because of a wrong decision they made, either in business or in other life endeavours.
Lack of a companion is majorly the cause of this. There are people who have vowed not to pour out their minds to just anyone. The one they did in the past landed them in trouble.
A companion is more than a friend; a companion is just like half of the one in a relationship.
In the light of this, a companion plays a big role in advising the decision maker in his decision by opening his or her to the merits and demerits of it before finally performing.
If you marry, you have a great advantage not to make a mistake in your plans or decisions. Your spouse is automatically your companion.
You have the privilege to always discuss is and reach a conclusion before action. And where the two of you cannot fine solution through your own effort, the responsibility falls on the two of you to think and agree on how to seek a professional advice elsewhere.
