Companionship
The first thing in creation that God names "not good" is human aloneness, and marriage emerges in the Bible's story as God's answer. These readings honor companionship as the deepest gift of married life: the helper "comparable to him" in Genesis 2, the shared prayer of Tobias and Sarah on their wedding night, the friendship language of Jesus in John 15 ("I have called you friends"). Fitting for couples who have known loneliness and recognize marriage, with quiet gratitude, as the answer.
