What is meant by the term "helper"? Help
suitable, complete, capable.
How is this phrase between men and women within marriage?
Through this phrase can understand, first, the purpose for which God instituted marriage, and second, the type of relationship established between the two sexes in the field of marriage. The aim is twofold and is set for the following phrases: "It is not good that man should be alone ..." v. 18. "... But for Adam no suitable helper was found ..." v. 20. As pointed out by Hoff, (3) the primary purpose of marriage is companionship and mutual aid. The second objective, subject to the first, would respond to the demands of divine mandate: "Be fruitful and multiply ..." (1:28).
As for the male-female relationships, we indicate what the commentator Henry Halley writes, "the woman was not formed from the man's head, not to exercise dominion over it, or their feet to not be trampled, but from his side to be equal to him, and near his heart to be loved by him "
" ... "and they become one flesh"?
This phrase has a double meaning: firstly establishing close and indissoluble nature of marriage and on the other hand, monogamy, as a direct effect of the first. Notes that the type of relationship established between man and woman within marriage is unique and exclusive, it rejects the interference of any element a stranger in the area of \u200b\u200bthese relationships.
What foreshadows the union of man and woman?
foreshadows the union between Christ and the Church (Eph. 5:25-22, Rev.. 19:7, 21:2, 99. Halley writes: "The Church is the bride of Christ. The wife of Adam, Eve, was made from his side while he slept. This may be a primitive painting of the Church, the Bride of Christ, while he "slept" on the cross (John 19:34, 1 John 5:6-8).
