Genesis 2

God is not a God that sits back and watches things from afar, but as verse two and three says...
"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."

God has set apart a day for resting, and yet... we live busy lives in which we don't set apart/make holy a day of rest... Not all was said and done when God was done with making the earth, he still had to make helpers- "the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being" (underlined notation is mine.)
God brought forth man with the breath of life; we did not come to be on our own, but it was God's breath that started our breathing.

As chapter 2 progresses, we read about the various items God has made, especially for his creature man. God realizes this is all good, but man is alone... God takes this opportunity to make a companion for Adam... From Adam's rib comes Eve. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." (verse 24)

God has made man and woman as partners - One Man, One Woman, One Flesh... This is the Biblical context of marriage.

Going on by God's strength alone...
