Observations...

It is interesting to read that Woman was created to be a helpmate but after the fall not only did her name change but a few things happened. (Gen3:16)
1. She will bear children with intense pain and suffering
2. Her desire will be for her husband
3. Her husband will be master over her

It is also interesting to ask the question... were these three things the curse of the fall?

So after the fall, the natural state of She was the desire to please her husband 1Cor7:34. )But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. -wanting to please your spouse)

You see it all the time, when She rushes home to see him. She makes sure that there is food that he likes (she might even stop cooking her favourites), and through the relationship, he communicates what he likes and she remembers it, he becomes a sports fan and she follows suit, etc etc Her day to day life involves taking note of his desires. (I imagine that every woman agrees to this)

And then,looking at point no.3, he became master over her. Eph5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. But even before the fall he, was the head or the leader, given the word to take care of the ground etc and she was to help him.
It's important to note that to help someone is to look and see what they need, put all the things you want to do aside and concentrate your energies at the "help". It's interesting that Adam didnt necessarily know that he needed help but it wasnt good for him to be alone, he needed help.

Side note... If you tell someone to do something it means that they are not doing it. If they are not doing it, it is possible that it is not their nature to do so. Therefore they have to constantly remind themselves?
For example, Woman are told several times to be submissive and men are told several times to love her. The language of She is LOVE and the language of Him is HONOUR. My guess is that subconsciously, woman give love over and over again in order to receive love and men give honour over and over again in order to receive honour.
Naturally we give what we want to get back
