God’s ways are unrivaled, even though a woman is created in the likeness of God, she is created is made wholly and entirely opposite of man. How could that be, only a God could create two beings that are so alike but totally opposite of each other. This opposite make-up enables a woman to be a help meet, have you ever heard someone say “that couple fit together like a puzzle.” It is as if what he lacks, she provides and vice-versa.

The word woman is defined as helpmeet; the dictionary (Merriam-Webster collegiate dictionary, 2012) Merriam-Webster collegiate dictionary defined helpmeet as a help suitable for him. The dictionary assists in the understanding that a woman is custom built for the needs of a man (the man which will become our mate). Our father, who is alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, has destined a mate for each woman.

God designed a man as a woman’s mate. God knows who our mate will be and God knows his Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). The SWOT analysis will be discussed later in this workbook. You will have the opportunity to perform a SWOT Analysis on yourself.

The SWOT Analysis is defined as (Merriam-Webster collegiate dictionary, 2012), a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses/Limitations, Opportunities, and Threats of a person, a project or an organization.

For the purpose of the “In the Beginning” workbook, we will use the SWOT Analysis for our personal use. It involves specifying the objective of the person’s venture and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective. The technique is credited to Albert Humphrey, who led a convention at Stanford University in the 1960’s and 1970’s using data from Fortune 500 companies.

Women look in the mirror, take a good look at yourself. The body God designed for your spirit and soul to dwell in is elite and beautiful. There is not another woman as unique as you in the world, there is only one you in this world. You were designed in such a way that only a replica can be made of yourself, never another original.

When a man and a woman marry (I Cor 7: 1-4), the spirit of the wife is intertwined with her husband’s, she is now spiritually part of him and he is spiritually part of her. God has designed you as such, when you marry a man; your spirits are joined during intercourse (when you embark on your honeymoon). The woman at times will exhibit all of his 5 senses, and the husband will exhibit all of her 5 senses.

Have you ever observed a couple and the following occurred?

1. She gets up out of her chair and goes into the kitchen, she brings him a glass of ice water, just the way he likes it, with 5 ice cubes in the glass and a napkin wrapped around the bottom of the glass. The husband accepts the glass out of the wife’s hand. Neither has exchanged a word, the husband has never requested a glass of water, or how many ice cubes he wanted in his glass.

2. She is 9 months pregnant, she goes into labor, he drives her to the emergency room. She watched in amazement as her husband fells the labor pains.

3. She says stop! If you don’t honey, you are going to hit your finger with the hammer! He comments under his breath, “That woman! She is always telling me what to do” He then turns around on the ladder and looks down at her commenting, “ I have been a carpenter for 20 years, I know what I am doing !” he then turns back around, and starts hammering feverously, repairing the roof. All of a sudden, she hears, Wham!!! Y-e-e-o-o-w! He’s screaming at the top of his lungs! She shakes her head.

4. She fell off to sleep, he smiles and goes to the linen closet and gets her a blanket. He spreads it over her and gives her a gentle kiss. She smiles, catches the blanket and pulls it around her neck, smiling. She knows it is her loving husband caring for her, she never opens her eyes.
