When God created man and woman and placed them in the Garden of Eden, the relationship between them was harmonious. A man and a woman are two complementary beings, which is mostly evidenced by the term ʽezer kenegdô – »help like him«. God created a woman for man and thus rescued him from loneliness, because she is a being with whom he can establish a relationship, unlike previously created beings. The difference between man and woman can be read from the way in which they were created and from the concept itself. Namely, the Hebrew term for a man is 'îš, and for a woman 'iššāh. However, in these expressions, apart from the difference, we can also recognize their complementarity because the two are always intertwined. In addition, Genesis 2: 4b-25 also testifies to the unity of man and woman because the man is the one who will »be joined to his wife«. This expression emphasizes that his desire towards the woman is strong. In this way, the two achieve communion, which culminates in physical union. This harmony is disturbed in Gen 3: 1-24 when man broke God's command and disturbed his relationship both with God and with his wife. This always happens when a person oversteps the limit that God sets for him. In this way, the communion of love turns into a communion of sin, and the consequences of this are visible in the relationship between a man and a woman. Namely, the man becomes the one who dominates the woman, and she becomes subject to him. Saint Paul gives a new interpretation of the relationship between a man and a woman in the Epistle to the Ephesians 5: 21-33. He interprets the relationship between man and woman as the relationship between Christ and his Church. Namely, a man, following the example of Christ, should be the »head« of a woman, and that means being her protector. On the other hand, the wife should be subject to her husband as to the Lord, and this subjection implies accepting the husband's care. To be submissive means to surrender to someone, and to love means to surrender yourself for someone.
