לא טוב היות האדם לבדו מתחילה עלה במחשבה לעשות לו זוג ולא מצא פתח לעשות עד לאחר קריאת השמות כדי שיתאוה לה ויחבבנה יותר. לא טוב היות האדם לבדו, “it is not good for Adam to remain solitary;” this was not a new idea that G-d had; He had planned for it all the time; He did not want to impose a partner on Adam, and that is why He gave him a chance to name the animals and to find that all of them had suitable mates, something that he now felt he lacked. G-d therefore responded to a wish of Adam that he had not even voiced as yet. If the mate was provided in response to his longing he would appreciate his wife more.
