[QUOTE="Vigilant, post: 1481853, member: 21776"] "the image of God in woman is a reflected image, a second hand image as it were. Man is created directly in the image of God, and woman, Paul tells us is created in the image of man; the reflected image of God. Moreover “a help as before him” means “a mirror”. First she mirrors his image, second in a sense she mirrors him so that a man finds himself not only in relationship to God, but in terms of a woman. And it is significant that it does make a difference in the [I]character[/I] of men when they become married. Insurance statistics bear that out. A young man has to pay a very heavy insurance as a driver until he marries, so that whether he is 17 or 21 his insurance is very high until he marries, and then it drops.
