John Calvin Commentary Genesis 2:22

"and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man." — Genesis 2:22 (ASV)

And brought her, etc. Moses now relates that marriage was divinely instituted, a fact that is especially useful to know. For since Adam did not take a wife for himself by his own will, but received her as offered and set apart for him by God, the sanctity of marriage therefore becomes clearer, because we recognize God as its Author.

The more Satan has endeavored to dishonor marriage, the more we should vindicate it from all reproach and abuse, so that it may receive its due reverence. Consequently, it will follow that the children of God may embrace a conjugal life with a good and tranquil conscience, and husbands and wives may live together in chastity and honor.

Satan's scheme in attempting to defame marriage was twofold: first, that by means of the odium attached to it, he might introduce the pestilential law of celibacy; and secondly, that married persons might indulge in whatever license they pleased. Therefore, by showing the dignity of marriage, we must remove superstition, so that it does not in the slightest degree hinder the faithful from chastely using the lawful and pure ordinance of God. Furthermore, we must oppose the lasciviousness of the flesh, so that men may live modestly with their wives. But if no other reason influenced us, this alone ought to be more than sufficient: unless we think and speak honorably of marriage, reproach is cast upon its Author and Patron, for Moses here describes God as such.
