Cheryl:
“The husband is the original source of the woman and thus she is from him and equal to him. The husband today is to see his wife as being from him as his very own body so that he is to care for her as if she is his own flesh.”

Mark:
Where does Paul even mention Adam and Eve in this context?

Are you serious, Mark? In Eph 5, Paul had in mind specificaly Genesis 2 when woman was taken from man. That she was taken from man IS the reason why a man leaves father and mother and the two become one.

Genesis 2:
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Eph 5:
In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies…29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31″For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.

It’s obvious from Ephesians 5 that the woman’s creation out of the man foreshadowed the church being made out of Christ.
