The beauty of Azur

No, I wasn't trying to spell the color Azure.  Azur is a name in the Bible which means helper.  Our connect group from church is studying how to make our marriages better.  This week we are looking at the roles of the wife.  Our video leader explained that God made woman as a helper (azur) for man.   While some could read that as the wife being subservient to her husband, it is actually the same role that the Holy Spirit is to Jesus.  The Holy Spirit is also called Azur.  The roles that wives play in their marriage include: companion, comforter, counselor, convictor and connector.  The wife is not subservient as helper, but complimentary, in that her strengths are essential for the health of the marriage.
