Think about an analogy of two pieces of
a jigsaw puzzle.
They are different but complementary and fit together perfectly. Only with both
together can we see the full picture. The two of
them become one: one biological and social system, complete and fit for the
greatest mission – to be fruitful and multiply.
We can see that the creation of woman differs from the creation of man, in a way that is remarkable (and a bit playful).
How was the creation of Adam described? God was described as a potter, forming Adam from the dust of the earth, then breathing into him the breath of life.
Now, Eve – that’s a different story. She is made from a different material (arguably of much higher quality). She’s made from Adam’s side. Not from head, meaning she is no higher than Adam. Nor from the feet, meaning she is no lower that Adam.
Instead, being made from his side, we see the equality and the complementary nature of this God given helper.
