I love that God told Noah exactly how to build the Ark. Even up to the type of wood to use and how many floors and rooms. I love that he told Noah to bring his children and their spouses onto the boat both male and female. Then he said go bring a male and female of every other creature onto the Ark. why do you think he wanted a male and female? Of course so they could reproduce to replenish the earth when the water receeded. God didn't say bring all males or all females on to the Ark. Because he knew it would take both to reproduce and replenish the earth. It tells us in the beginning that God male then female as a help mate. Then because of sin she was to bear children. From then on the earth started to be replenished. It took both male and female to reproduce. If God had not made a female who Adam named Eve do you think we would have been here today? I love Genisis.

Sybilr, great comment. Yes God created us male and female to be coupled together. The woman as a helpmeet as you have said and to reproduce and replenish the Earth.

Genesis 3:16

"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

King James Version (KJV)
