Matthew Henry quotes

“Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.”

神学家亨利•马太对这段经文进行了属灵的解释：即不是用他的头造成女人，因为这样女人会高过他，也不是用他的脚造成她，这样女人被男人践踏在脚下，而是用肋骨，这意味着在他的身边，与他平等，既在他的腋下被保护，又靠近他的心脏被爱护。

彼得前书 3:7
你们作丈夫的，也要按情理和妻子同住（情理原文作知识）。因她比你软弱（比你软弱原文作是软弱的器皿），
与你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重她。这样便叫你们的祷告没有阻碍。
