In the biblical account of creation, God recognizes that it is not good for man to be alone, and so He creates a companion for Adam, establishing the institution of marriage. The wisdom literature, such as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, offers guidance on the benefits of a good marriage, with Proverbs noting that "he who finds a wife finds a good thing," and Ecclesiastes highlighting the value of having a partner to support and care for one another. Isaiah and the Psalms encourage trust in God's providence and timing, with Psalms urging patience and waiting on the Lord. Ultimately, the Bible teaches that a successful marriage is built on a foundation of faith, mutual support, and trust in God's sovereignty.

The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. For if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up!

Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.
