Brothers, consider this: When Adam was alone in a perfect garden—no sin, no shame, no distraction—God did not give him a friend. He did not give him a church, a small group, or a ministry. He gave him a wife.

Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”

Notice the words carefully. “A wife” — not just a partner, not a live-in companion. A covenant companion. God’s design from the beginning was one man, one woman, joined for life.

Second, “a good thing” — the Hebrew word means treasure. Something precious, beneficial, worth seeking. A godly wife is not a burden or an afterthought. She is hidden wealth that enriches every part of your life.

Third, “obtains favor from the Lord” — not just human happiness, but divine approval. When a man pursues and honours a wife, he aligns himself with God’s creative order, and heaven smiles on his life.

So don’t settle for less. Don’t let fear, convenience, or the world’s cheap substitutes rob you of God’s best. Seek a wife. Treasure her. And watch how the Lord pours out His favour on the man who honors His design.
