A wife is a companion. She is a help meet for a man. He is the complimentary half of the man. A man without a wife is an incomplete man. God himself said that it is not good that the man should be alone. He made the woman to be a support and a helper for the man. So, a wife as well as a husband is something every important.
When looking for a marital partner, we should ask it of God. Only God can give us a good and reliable help meet. Our marital partner is a companion which we will have to spend all our time with. So, choosing a partner should be what we do through the guidance of God.
One can easily fine women around. There are women everywhere in the world. We should be mindful that the people around us are not altogether good. Some people are children of the devil. Their hearts are ruled by the devil. Marrying such people will give one heartache. This is why we need to seek the face of God for our marital partners.
