Why do you think Eve was the perfect helpmate (helper) to Adam above all that God had created? And, what does this mean, to be a helpmate?

Helpmate is one who will share....and it is as it says HELP-MATE......there are things man can do women cant...there are things women can do man cant......its the ultimate intamite relationship...........two working as one together........and its an example of Christ and His True church the bride.....and its not a building called church........THE CHURCH or Bride of Christ is people made up of every kindred / race / and through out the world........those who will believe and have faith in Him to obey His word......as a man and wife become one....so is it with God and the human race............we are to be one with Him ( spiritualy speaking ).........as man and women the ultimate relationship !!!

Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
In this context, "meet" means "suitable" or "precisely adapted to his need"---- a helper suitable for Adam. All my life I thought it was helpmate, just from hearing others say that, and because that really fit in nicely.
I looked into this several years ago , and found the correct meaning. Thought this was interesting.

God made the animals mortal-explains fossils, death and food chain. He then wanted a creature He could commune with. So, He made man mortal too, but separated him from the animals by making man in His image, in His likeness, meaning man could communicate, reason, will, have authority, create and love. But, then Adam realized that he had no one to commune with on this planet in the physical realm at least, so God made him a helpmate-woman-a creature who is also made in God's image, in His likeness. God then was going to let mankind GAIN immortality by eating of the Tree of Life (symbolic of obeying God's express commands). But, Adam and Eve decided to ursurp God's authority and prerogative in deciding for themselves what was good or bad and right or wrong and thus, gained death (dust to dust)-not just physical, but spiritual as well. God blocked eternal life from sinful man, thus original sin. Mankind was now separated from God by a gulf because God is holy and man was sinful so God had to come to earth as a new Man (Jesus Christ) to pay the penalty for His creation (redemption) because He loves us and wants us to spend eternity with Him as was meant to be in the beginning. To me, "Helpmate" means a woman for marriage which is a sacrament before God. He didn't want man to be lonely, He wanted to propagate the human race, it's easier for two people to help each other to live, etc... A baby is a physical manifestation of a spiritual truth, the two shall become one.

Eve was the perfect helper to Adam because she came from him. God performed surgey and removed one of Adam's ribs and made Eve that's why she was perfect for him. She was every bit of him. That's why he said: "Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman because she came from man". Gen 2:23
Help mate means someone who is helps their partner.

They say a dog is man's best friend, but if I said to my dog "Would you please make me a sandwich?" there is 0% chance it will happen. But if I say it to my wife, there is at least a 1% chance of it happening. Since Eve was originally without sin, there was up to a 100% chance - which would be perfect.

first of all it says HELP MEET. Second-He didn't want Adam to be lonely. Did you know Adam's name was Michael in heaven? look in Revelations 12:7
