1:26-27). No other creatures where created in the image of God, with a living soul, and therefor could not provide sufficient companionship. “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him” (Gen. 2:18). He created a companion for Adam, Eve, out of his ribcage (Gen. 218). She was taken out of his side to be equal to him and near his heart, not beneath or above him, both sexes have possess different but none less divine characteristics. This relationship between man and woman is crucial for the survival of God’s creation. Genesis 2:24 says “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” The relationship between man and woman’s core purpose is multiply the earth, and therefore must be solely between a man and a woman. Not only is God the God or relationship but he is also the God of love (1 John 4:7). We are called to be loving in all relationships (1 Peter 4:8). We all created in the image of God, it is most important to remember that everyone is made in His image and by loving his creation we are loving him (The Book of Common Prayer
