"So the Lord God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. He took one of Adam's ribs and closed up the place from which he had taken it. Then the Lord God made woman from the rib." -Genesis 2:21&22
This quote from Matthew Henry's commentary on Genesis beautifully sums up the relationship between Adam and his "suitable companion." "Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him." -Henry
