“For most of us, the idea of woman being created “for” man sounds somewhat negative, since it appears to imply that he has license to use and abuse her at will. But the Hebrew preposition carries no such overtones. It simply denotes direction.

She was created for—that is, toward or with reference to him, or on account of him. She was created because of him. His existence led to hers. It didn't happen the other way around.

Our adverse reaction to the idea that we were created “for man” serves to underline how very far we've fallen from the original created order.”

—Mary Kassian, Uniquely Female: The Scriptural Blueprint for Femininity

Genesis 2:18

And יהוה God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
