THE purpose of God was that two have to work together in love, without competing in ministry but complementing one another. Two are supposed to be a powerful tag team against the devil. The Bible in Ecclesiastes says that two are better than one and they have a good reward for their effort. God saw that the man alone was not powerful enough as he would intend him to be. He needed a helper. That is why He had to bring out a man with a womb called Eve. This was a beautiful man, not handsome! A helper in Hebrew means an assistant, co-worker and partner with more strength, sensitivity, wisdom and inbuilt capacity to compliment everything in your marriage.
Isaiah’s Wife Another Prophetess is mentioned in the Old Testament, “And I went unto the Prophetess and she conceived and bare a son.”
Isaiah 8 vs 3
New International Version
Then I made love to the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. And the LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
This was the wife of Isaiah. No other Old Testament Prophet is said to have married a Prophetess. This could explain why Isaiah so accurately foretold the suffering of Christ. To a large extent, she was the key to such a powerful and successful prophetic ministry that is still enjoyed and exhibits God’s power. The Bible does say “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour”
Ecclesiastes 4:9
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:(NIV)
It is not hard to believe that Isaiah’s marriage to a prophetess gave him a distinct advantage over other prophets; note that his writings are often called “The Fifth Gospel” by theologians because of the double prophetic balance brought into his ministry by marrying a prophetess. He accurately and precisely predicted the life of Jesus, His birth and ministry some thousand years way before He was born.
