In Genesis 1, as God completed the major phases of His creation, we're told that He reviewed His handiwork and "saw that it was good" (verses 4,10,12,18,21,25). But something was lacking. We read that of all God's vast and perfect creation, one thing was decidedly "not good." Considering Adam, "the Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone; I shall make a partner suited to him'" (Genesis 2:18, Revised English Bible, emphasis added throughout).
It was only after forming both man and woman (Genesis 1:27-28) that God summed up His wondrous work through the sixth day with the words, "indeed, it was very good" (verse 31).
