Tim Keller's book pointed out to me something I had honestly never noticed. If you grew up in church, you were raised on the story of how God created the Earth and it was good, animals and they were good, land and sea and it was good and so on. But when God created man, it was not good. It was not good for the man to be alone. Because even in perfect harmony with God and living in paradise, Adam was missing connection and relationship with a partner. I believe God created Eve to be in beautiful relationship with Adam. God created each of us to help others be in positive relationships with each other. To support each other in more full relationships with Christ.
Still kind of a work in progress on this one. But I'd never really paid attention to that notation that it was not good that adam was alone.
