This passage begins with the words of the Lord God when he said it is not good for man to be alone. God's idea from the beginning was a strong union between a man and a woman in marriage. In this kind of committed relationship, we learn to serve and to give of ourselves, becoming more like Christ, not to be subservient but to help, cherish and love. This message also covers Adam's role of naming and classifying the animals and the creation of woman from Adam's rib.
