I see that the focus in this post will be on “spiritual function” and not “physical function”. I gravitate toward the physical end because my focus is on marriage, which leads me down a different, albiet parallel, path when thinking about Genesis. So, I will probably hang back on this one unless there is a drift toward physical activities of daily living that impact us.

Just a quick word regarding this: “As far as design, “helper” isn’t a term just for females as we can understand God is the main “helper” in the Scriptures and guardian isn’t just a term for males as women apologists guard the faith too”. Of course that is true, and I would never suggest that something was a universal role, function, or designation for either gender. I would no more suggest that women aren’t to love and men aren’t to respect their respective spouses, even though Paul is gender specific with those instructions. What I am curious about, and would like to pursue at a more appropriate time, is if our clear design differences mean anything at all in terms of how we interact with the world and relate to each other. Food for future thought.
