"What exactly is a "help meet?"
"And the Lord God said, It is not
good that the man should be alone; I
will make him an help meet for him."

"1 Ti 2:13, 14 A woman’s subordinate
role did not result after the Fall
as a cultural, chauvinistic
corruption of God’s perfect design;
rather, God established her role as
part of His original creation (v.
13). God made woman after man to be
his suitable helper (see note on
Gen. 2:18; cf. 1 Cor. 11:8, 9). The
Fall actually corroborates God’s
divine plan of creation (see notes
on Gen. 3:1–7). By nature Eve was
not suited to assume the position of
ultimate responsibility. By leaving
Adam’s protection and usurping his
headship, she was vulnerable and
fell, thus confirming how important
it was for her to stay under the
protection and leadership of her
husband (see notes on 5:11, 12; 2
Tim. 3:6, 7). Adam then violated his
leadership role, followed Eve in her
sin, and plunged the human race into
sinfulness—all connected with
violating God’s planned roles for
the sexes. Ultimately, the
responsibility for the Fall still
rests with Adam, since he chose to
disobey God apart from being
deceived (Rom. 5:12–21; 1 Cor.
15:21, 22)." MacArthur, J., Jr.
