Fr. John and Danny reflect on Genesis 2, showing that Adam’s solitude revealed his need for a helper beyond the animals, leading to the creation of Eve and the purpose of marriage. Naming the animals demonstrated Adam’s God-given dominion and harmony with creation, while Eve’s role complemented his task by connecting humanity to the sensory world and enabling the expansion of God’s garden-temple. Marriage, therefore, is a continuation of God’s creative work, where man and woman together build something greater than either could alone, with animals woven into this divine purpose.
