helpmeet

A clergyman has been said to have made love to the helpmeet of his choice out of the Epistle to the Galatians.

The wife of the ruler of a State is called by her husband "My helpmeet."

They were married August 17, 1843; and he never had cause to regret his choice, for she proved to him a helpmeet indeed.

What sort of helpmeet she has been he lovingly portrayed in the “Dedication,”—a tender tribute that was fully deserved.
