I guess some people, while viewing Adam as fully representative of the worst inclinations in husbands, view Eve as only marginally representative of wives, and even in that, only representative of their good inclinations.

I don’t think that many of us women measure up to Eve who did not have Adam’s sin nature although most of us understand what it feels like to have a strong desire for marriage and male companionship at least at some point in our lives. However for a good many men they would have nothing to do with women if it were not for sex. To some of these men, women are less than perfect companions since most of us don’t grunt, belch or spit enough to make a good companion 😉
