When God created Eve for Adam, He declared that she was to be a help meet for him (Genesis 2:18). Though I have often mistakenly rendered the operative phrase (help meet) as one word, it is not. The origin of the strict English translations comes from two Hebrew words: ezer kenegdo.
Help/ezer is a strong word in the Bible.
It is used for someone who saves or protects another, the one that needs help.
It is used for someone who saves or protects another, the one that needs help.
Meet/kenegdo means "facing" or corresponding to.
She will provide the help he needs and is neither superior nor inferior to him, she is equal yet different.
She will provide the help he needs and is neither superior nor inferior to him, she is equal yet different.
When a husband is struggling, in work or at school, a wife's encouragement is the balm that God prescribed for him. If this is your case, why not lift his spirits with a kind and sincere word of encouragement?

Great post! This has been especially difficult for me, mainly because I didn't come from a family that gave out encouragement often. So I have had to really rely on the Holy Spirit's guidance in order to become my husband's strongest supporter, and encourager. Thank you again for blessing us with your words of encouragement & exhortation!

Wow! So true! My husband was having a hard time earlier this year and I personally didn't think it was all that big of a deal...I'd pray and encourage, but didn't think much more of it (it was work-related and I try to stay out of it)...anyway, when it got bad enough, I just hugged him up real big one day and he gave me the biggest compliment I could have rec'd, "You're the best friend to go through hard times with, you encourage me every time I need it"...WOW! It made a big difference in my perspective of our relationship! Thanks for encouraging that even further with your post today...not to fear, but to encourage!
Happy iFellowship Day!
