Netziv (Bereishis 4:19) We have already explained regarding the wife being an Ezer Kenegdo that there are two aspects 1) To be available to fulfill all the husbands's wishes and desires even though they might be mistaken or unhelpful and thus by fully complying with his requests she is actually impeding him 2) she is controlling and opposes his harmful desires and thus she ends up helping him.
