Trapped,
Adam saw it differently than you do:
"And Jehovah God built the rib, which He had taken from the man, into a woman and brought her to the man. And the man said this time this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; This one shall be called Woman because out of Man this one was taken." Gen 2:22-23
And the analogy worked for Paul as he applied this to Christ and the Church:
Ephesians 5:23-30. Verses 29-30 here:
"For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also the church, because we are members of His Body.
This is God's ordination in the propagation of life.. everything after its own kind. (Gen 1:20-31)
