This is a summary of Adam &Eve/Submit/Help Meet. God said it was not good for man to be by alone, God made a help meet who was fit/suitable for him. God created Eve to be Adam's help meet. Eve was created for a pacific purpose. Eve was not created for to rule but be a help meet.
God placed Adam in the garden which was crated by God. God put Adam in a deep sleep, took a rib. From the rib from man, God created woman (Eve) & brought her to Adam. When Adam a woke he received her & proclaimed they were one flesh. They were "married" at that point.
In 1 Corinthians 11:7-12, gives us more of a description of one flesh, we wives are one flesh with our husbands & are help meets to them.

-Man is made in the image & glory of God, women is the glory of man.
-man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
-man was not created for woman, but woman was created for man.
-woman is not independent of man nor man of woman.
Women have been referred to as the weaker one in the relationship. Some may not agree with that & feel that women can do what ever men can do. I feel when that statement is used, it's only said when someone has been hurt. If woman was as strong as man, then why did the serpent go temp Eve instead of Adam?
Let's look at the weaker for a moment. In 1 Peter 3:7, it states wives are weaker vessels, that need to be treated with respect. Not to walk over the wives & push them around. 1 Peter 3:7 (NIV)
" Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."
1 Thessalonians 4:4 tells husbands they need to learn to live with their wives, the weaker vessel. Key words learn to live with, as to take care of, not to control. Remember women are a gift from God not a property. A gift you care for. In the garden Eve shown she was the weaker vessel. God put Adam over Eve to help lead, protect & provide for.

We as wives should submit to our husbands, with a servant heart. We wives need to be life giving to our husbands. A servant heart is joyful & not groaning. How are you in your position in relations to man? Do you have a servants heart & are life giving?
