Genesis 2:18 Douay-Rheims

And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

[In goodness God] provided also a help meet for [the man] that there might not be anything in his lot that was not good. For God said that it is not good for the man to be alone. He knew full well what a blessing the gender of Mary would be to him and also to the church.
