What do you understand from the passage of the Bible as regards the purpose of marriage? (Genesis 2 v 18). You can also see the verses before and after.

Thanks.

From my understanding, God created man and placed Him a garden to work it, etc. After that, He said, man did not have one who is like Him (human), hence he created a woman from man to be his "helper".

It does not insinuate that man was "lonely" because after God clearly specified why He created woman; to be helper to man in the tasks that God had entrusted to man.

Any objections to this view

No objections here. Only to add, we were also created to help populate the earth.
