It is not good for the human to be alone. From here, the Sages said, the one who dwells without a wife dwells without goodness. I will make a fitting counterpart for him. That the woman will help the man, bringing wheat and grinding and baking. And bringing flax and spinning it and making clothing, and dressing him and standing him up on his feet. If he is worthy-a helper, if he is not worthy-against him.
The Helper Who Can Also Stand Against You
Midrash Aggadah, Genesis 2:18
