The bible has been proven to be a historically accurate document. Archeology has been used to prove the existence of certain people groups mentioned in the bible.

In Genesis 2:20-23 it talks about how no “suitable helper” for Adam was found among the animals. So God took one of Adam’s ribs and created Eve, who was the first woman. In verse 24, it goes on to say, “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” The language used here seems to suggest that a man is missing a part of himself and that he needs woman to again be complete. From these verses it is obvious that man and women were made to complement each other. There are other verses in the bible that put it more plainly.
