A Suitable Helper: Women as Ezer Kenegdo in God’s Design for Marriage

What does it mean when the Bible calls woman a “suitable helper”? In this women-focused episode, Michelle unpacks the biblical concept of Ezer Kenegdo—a term that means strong helper, companion, and one who stands face-to-face. Far from being a secondary role, Scripture shows this as a position of strength, value, and spiritual partnership.

Together, Roger and Michelle explore:

• The biblical foundation of Ezer Kenegdo and how it reveals God’s design for women in marriage.
• Why being a “suitable helper” is not about weakness, but about complementing and strengthening your husband.
• The importance of learning that it’s okay to ask for help, and how doing so deepens intimacy and unity.
• Practical ways women can walk in this calling while leaning on God’s wisdom and grace.

This episode is full of encouragement for wives who want to better understand their role in God’s design for marriage, and for husbands who want to appreciate and support the strength God has placed in their wives.

Because biblical marriage is never about one over the other—it’s about two becoming one in Christ, each bringing their God-given strength to the relationship.
