Your wife from your ribs HE did mend.
Can you handle it?
Adam, what sort of helper will she be?
She will from her father and mother flee.
Can you handle it?
Adam, she is “bone of your bones, flesh of your flesh”.*
Her life with yours will mesh.
Can you handle it?
Eve, you were created while he slept.
From your husband’s ribs you leapt.
Can you handle it?
Eve, what sort of helper will you be?
You will from your father and mother flee.
Can you handle it?
Eve, you are “bone of his bones, flesh of his flesh”.
Your life with his will mesh.
Can you handle it?
Yes, you can.
Our Father above,
Rained down HIS love,
When He created husband – and wife.
Yes, you can.
Helpers come in all shapes and sizes,
United a new family arises,
When two join as husband – and wife.
Yes, you can.
It is unique and amazing,
That with a certificate and a ring,
Couples can build a new life together – as husband and wife.
* Genesis 2:21-24 (NKJV)

God bless~
That made for an interesting format.
I did. :)
The transition from Adam, to Eve to "them" was smooth and effortless and along the way you drove home the point that it's neither of us that truly "handles it", but God who puts us together and makes it possible for anything to be handled by two He has joined together.
Very nice work.
Great message!
Can't imagine you've not written poetry before.
You brought a unique perspective to the first married couple.
