Gen 2:18
The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper SUITABLE for him.” (NIV)

Genesis 2:18
[18]Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper MEET (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him. (AMP)

From the verse above, God was much more interested in the suitability of the man and woman.

Even today, God is more interested in somebody that is right for you and not just somebody you can livewith.

What makes you suitable for somebody is when you both fit into your purpose.

Remember Eve was a help suitable for Adam.

So it is very important that you discover your purpose and allow God to bring you the man or lady who will be suitable for that purpose.

The English dictionary defines the two words as follows:

SUITABILITY: The word “suitable” means being right or appropriate for a particularpurpose or occasion.

COMPATIBILITY: The ability of people or things to live or exist together without  problems.

You can be compatible with somebody and not be suitable or right for that person.

However, youcan’t be suitable for somebody and not be compatible with that person.

Compatibility doesn’t just happen naturally; it takes work.

The truth that a particular person is right or thewill of God for you will make you to work towards compatibility.

Our upbringing, values and perspectives  may make us different from each other and that is why we must work on them so that we can rhyme.

Dating and courtship help you to work on yourdifferences so that you will be able to work in agreement in marriage after you’ve found your suitable mate.

Who you need is the SUITABLE person for you.

This means meeting the right man or woman at the right time for the right purpose.

However compatible you are, this shouldn’t be used as a yardstick for measuring the right person for you…
