God used one rib to make the woman.
This rib was taken from the man Adam.
The woman is, therefore, a vital part of man.
With one rib man invested in the woman.
What was God’s plan when he did that?
To make women and men co-exist, that’s a fact.
She is meant to be a help-mate, not a slave.
The woman is strong, intelligent, and brave.
God said to Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply.
His vision was for many families to occupy,
The world he created for women and men,
Not knowing at that time if it would work as he intend.
Men are the breadwinners in many homes
In other homes, women handle those roles
Circumstances are not the same in everyone’s life.
Women take on roles to prevent strife.
God did not intend for anyone to be ill-treated
By inflated egos who feel this should be meted.
They are equal in God’s sight and no one should use might,
To take advantage of their partners for anything slight.
