About Helper Wife
If a married woman is going to step into the fullness of the purpose for which God created her, which is to be a helper to her husband so that together they may “rule” over the earth, it has to begin with the alignment of her marriage to biblical principles. When both husband and wife step into the fullness of the purpose which God created them and marriage we begin to heal a marriage, heal a family , heal a community, heal a nation through Christ and the truth of His Word through courses, resources, events and accountability relationships.
“[27] So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. [28] God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground. ”
Genesis 1:27-28 NIV
“The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 NIV
