      Chapter One: Who Finds

      He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD.

      Proverbs 18:22

      Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

      Proverbs 19:14

      I have said it again and again. Marriage is a good thing. God said it is good. And it is good.

      In Genesis chapter 1, we read about creation. And it is stated emphatically that God created man first. Then in chapter 2, He made his woman for him.
