Adam and Eve

I recently decided to take up the challenge to read my bible chronologically as part of my 2010 goals. I came to my attention that Adam and Eve never dated; God made man, and then He delivered his "helper" to him. She was an instant wife. There was no dating, no courtship, no romantic proposal, nada. On the other hand, there were no dreaded "in-laws," no worries of Adam checking other women--or other men for that matter, and no doubt if this Eve gal was Ms. Right--she was to the very core created especially for Adam. Come to think of it, Adam probably never had commitment issues either. I seriously wonder what would have happened if God brought Eve before Adam and he had said that he was "not ready to settle down."

Dr. Laura says that basically to keep a husband happy, all his wife needs to give is food, sex and appreciation. Is it any coincidence that God made woman from the rib of a man, and WHAT is man's favorite food?
