- Gen 2:20-24 ... for man there was not found a helper suitable for him. Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. According to Jesus, this last sentence was said by God, not Adam - Matthew 19:4-5 (... he who made them ... said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh...' ")
- Because of sin, a change in the husband-wife relationship: There would be unmet desires, perhaps an insecurity or a vulnerability that had not been present before then. There would also be a change in the nature of their relationship. Originally, there would always have been a 100% agreement between them; but now with conflicting interests being possible, one would have to take the lead. (There's no way to escape this reality, without additional problems being created.)
