What Do You Understand By The Word "HELP MATE"? by Mrsfaithhh: 8:47pm On Dec 26, 2014
When God used the word "help mate" in the bible,did he specify the areas which men need to b helped? NO. So y do people tink "help mate" means its her duty to do al d hous chores? Isn't that mistaking the word "help mate for house help"? Between isn't it called help wen u the "helpee" is involved? Abi wat do u tink?

Simply means when both parties contribute equally in a house hold, both in finances, chores, pains, sorrows and joys.

My dear you should be happy that the ladies were given only the house chores to do o. If we are to go by your definition of HELP MATE, ladies go suffer I tell you. And by the way do expect a man to go hustle for money outside and still come to do the house chores while he have a help mate

Women doesn't hussle also?

Chores are not 'only chores' especially for a working wife.

So what is your definition of a helpmate? I think the right word is helpmeet

it is actually help "meet" not mate
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 (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him. Emphasis included.

She is not a "house help" but please note that both spouses are supposed to complement one another in ways that best works for them. It is a mutual thing, none is a slave of/to the other.

Yes it is help meet, meaning help that is fit for the task. Woman is to help man build a home, a family and a world and She is very suited for the task.
