Although animals were brought before Adam to be name, they did not provide companionship and could not alleviate his loneliness. God concluded that 'it is not good that man should be alone; I will make a mate for him. Experience has taught that it is better for most men and women to marry.
The need for companionship between the male and female is built into their physical natures. The healthy, intimate relationship of husband and wife is the basis of successful social relationships at other levels. Acceptance by one's companion removes feelings of inferiority and unworthiness, and this acceptance is reflected in relationships outside the home.
Companionship in marriage strengthens one's moral character. Some single person have difficulty controlling their sexual impulses, and others do not even try.
The value of companionship are seen in times of joy and stress. When good fortune comes to a person, his greatest joy comes in sharing it with others. So, what if an isolated person on a lonely island found treasures worth a million dollars! A husband who receives a promotion on the job desires to get home and share the good news with his wife and to celebrate with his family.
Some joy comes in sharing good fortune with friends, but the greatest joy comes in sharing it with one's companion. The married person share all troubles, disappointments, and problems in life together as a couple. Thus, companionship is building life together.
