Purpose determines design. (Man’s purpose: cultivator, provider, visionary, protector, leader, teacher.) God made the woman the way she is because her purpose it to enhance, to reflect and to be a life-giver. (ref. Prov. 14:1) wise vs. foolish woman.

~4th is to be his helper.
~5th is she is to be adaptable.

b. Women need to have love continually expressed to them through affectionate words and gestures.
c. If a man is going to love his wife, he has to keep company with Christ. He has to find out how Christ loves His church.
3. As a life-giver she is an “incubator” that is able to transform seeds into babies: physically, mentally, spiritually, financially, and otherwise. (ref. Gen. 3:20)
a. A womb will never give back to you just what it has received. It will take what you have given it and develop it and multiply it.
b. When a man knows that a woman is an incubator, then he can be careful and considerate about what he says to her.
c. In closing, the value of a woman.
