Let me ask you a question- In the beginning, before God created the earth, God was there, right? Right.
Then, He created men. He created men, in His own image, right? Right.
But then, God realized that it was not good for man to be alone. May I ask,- why? Why wasn't it good for men to be alone? Because man was created in His image, and He was not alone.
Gen 1:2
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Gen 1:26
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So, God wasn't alone. The Holy Spirit was there since the beginning of time. Then, God created the woman. How did God come up with that? Are woman created in the image of God? Yes. Then how is it that men and women are different?- very different, in fact? And why did God say "Our" and not "My" image?
Gen 1:26-28
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in His own image;
in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply;
fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in His own image;
in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply;
fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
God created the female as a 'helper'. And the Greek word for it is Ezer, which is the same meaning as Holy Spirit.
Gen 1:18
18 And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a ezer comparable to him.”
So does that answer your question? God created them in His likeness and the likeness of His Spirit. He created them male and female. God the Spirit is very much female. Now, before you start throwing stones at me, let's explore further..
Gen 2:21-24
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept;
and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman,
and He brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
and they shall become one flesh.
and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman,
and He brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
and they shall become one flesh.
Now, where did God get that idea from? I know that most of the animals, not all, had this; but men and women were created in His image, right?
1 Cor 2:9-12
9 But as it is written:
“ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God,
that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

Gen 2:24
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
and they shall become one flesh.
and they shall become one flesh.
