God created Eve from Adam, and we're in the habit of imagining ourselves as Adam; we think God made someone specifically for us and from us.
But maybe Adam isn't us. Perhaps he represents God in the story, and it's a story of God making something specifically for Himself.
We are the suitable helper.
It feels like an echo of Genesis 1 when God created humanity. Perhaps Genesis 2 tells us how He felt about us in the words of Adam when he sees the woman.
