God made us to need each other. That was the whole point of bringing the animals through the garden. God Himself wasn't surprised at the outcome. But the whole thing serves as a lesson that no one man is truly qualifies to go at it alone. And I'm not just talking marriage (Adam and Eve) here. They had the responsibility also of creating the human race- something you need a marriage to do.
But we as individuals also need other people to support us. What E.B. has shared here is really good. Those men in prison are a hard lot to deal with. You probably already know this. In time you may find disciples and helpers from within the walls. But especially at the outset, you need good godly help and counsel.

Seeking and heeding wise counsel is always a profitable thing...I suppose finding a wise counselor is the key here.
