Alone. Helper. (Gen 2.18)
Head. Body. (Eph 5:22-23)

Pairing head with helper takes a solution in a story about man/woman and links it with half a marriage metaphor from Ephesians.

Ever heard anyone pair “alone” with “body” in casting a biblical vision of male/female? Me, either.

What Does It Mean That Woman is Man's “Helper” (Ezer)?

Hint: She's not like Hamburger Helper.

Church Attendance Gender Gap Shrinks, But It’s Not All Good News - Lifeway Research

For decades, women have been more likely to attend church than men. Recently, the gap has been shrinking—but it’s not necessarily good news.
