GOD surveyed the planet Earth. He was preparing it for human habitation. He saw that everything he was making was good. In fact, when this work was done, he declared that it was “very good.” (Genesis 1:12, 18, 21, 25, 31) Before reaching that perfect conclusion, however, God spoke of something that was “not good.” Of course, God did not make anything less than perfect. It was just that his creation was not yet complete. “It is not good for the man to continue by himself,” said Jehovah. “I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him.”​—Genesis 2:18.

Man needed “a helper.” Now he had one who was just right. Eve was perfectly suited to be Adam’s complement​—in caring for their garden home and the animals, in producing children, and in providing the intellectual stimulus and support of a true companion.​—Genesis 1:26-30.
