“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”Ecclesiastes 4:9 (KJV)
What Ecclesiastes 4:9 means
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. God's design weaves us for companionship, because shared life multiplies strength and shared burdens lighten. When one falls, the other lifts, and a bond held together with God, as the next verses add, is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:9 in context
8There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. 9Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
