Just like Adam, you must individually receive your mate as God’s provision for your need for companionship. Receiving your mate demonstrates your faith in God’s integrity. Adam’s focus was on God’s flawless character, not Eve’s performance. He knew God and knew that God could be trusted. Adam enthusiastically received Eve because he knew she was from God. Adam’s faith in God enabled him to receive Eve as God’s perfect provision for him.

Dennis Rainey
Der US-amerikanische evangelikale Autor, Redner und Radiomoderator Dennis Rainey (* 1948) gründete 1976 das Ehe- und Familienwerk FamilyLife und prägte es über vier Jahrzehnte lang. Er vertritt eine komplementaristische Theologie traditioneller Geschlechterrollen, die ihm weite Verbreitung im konservativen Evangelikalismus, aber auch Kritik an patriarchalen Strukturen einbrachte. Bibellesern vermitteln seine Texte und Andachten praxisbezogene Ratschläge zur Beziehungsgestaltung, Eheführung und christlichen Erziehung.
