Genesis 2:18 “And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.”
The word alone in this verse does not mean lonely. If you go to verse 20, it says, “For Adam there was not found a help meet for him.” Adam was not lonely; he was alone in terms of companionship. There was no one like him.
Being alone is a very important phase of life, not only before marriage but in every season of growth. Spiritually, there are moments when God calls you to be alone with Him. Even when you are married, there are times when God separates you for personal dealings.
In such moments, God works on you in ways He cannot when you are surrounded by others.
Do not rush through this alone phase without receiving everything God intends for you. It is a season for development, discovery, and divine molding.
Why Many Marriages Fail?
Today, we have a high rate of divorce because people are not receiving what they are supposed to receive during their alone time. Many skip what they were meant to learn during their single phase. We are producing half-baked married couples. Of course, there is no fixed timeframe for marriage; it’s not about years, it’s about maturity. Until you are mature, you are not ready. You must know why you are single and what you must develop in yourself before you can unite with someone else.
