Marriage: A Help Or A Hinderance?

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an HELP MEET for him.

This is my believe of what a wife should be to her husband but certain comments from the married folks have been more than baffling  to me. Please see the scenarios below, and these are just the few that came to mind now:

1. A married colleague came close to me and perceived my designers pefume and he went like this: "Hmmn! nice perfume but would you be able to continue to use such perf after getting married"

2. To a sister at church" Sis, you are late again today" and she went like:  "wait till you are married then you will understand"

3. A friend, married of course, said to me " so how was lunch" . I said "Great! I ate out". He was like "You are always eating out anyway when you get married.

Give me a break! A helper comes to help one to achieve MORE, so why are these folks creating opposite impression? are they saying two heads are no longer better than one? Well, a friend used to say it is not just two heads but two GOOD heads that are better than one. Probably that is the case with the folks with such "till you get married" view.

To the married ones in the house, what has marriage done to your graph??? Upward trend or otherwise?

Singles please feel free to put in your 2c.

Shalom

i believe in serial monogamy its boring being with one 4 d rest of your life its brings about familiarity no respect n placing one's life in d hands of his partner
