"Calvin commented that “if the two sexes had proceeded from
different sources, there would have been occasion either of mutual contempt, or envy, or contentions.” And he went on to say that “something was taken from Adam, in order that he might embrace with greater benevolence, a part of himself. He lost, therefore, one of his ribs; but, instead of it, a far richer reward was granted him, since he obtained a faithful associate of life; for he now saw himself, who had before been imperfect, rendered complete in his wife.”

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
