QUOTE : They held so tightly together because the only thing they had in the whole wide world was each other. True, they had El Shaddai, but even El Shaddai himself had said that he was not enough for their need for community. Humans needed each other. When Adam was without sin and with El Shaddai in the Garden, they walked in perfect communion. But even in that perfect pastoral paradise, El Shaddai had said, “It is not good for man to be alone.” One would think that El Shaddai would not consider the man to be alone if he was with his Creator. But he did. And that is why he made the woman out of his side, to be his helper, equal to him.
