The Talmudist R. Joseph Gikatila (1248-1325) explains this in the Middle Ages in Spain.
In the beginning during Maasse Berechit (the act of creation) the Lord created Adam (human being) male AND female souls. » male and female created He them » (Gn 1, 26)
“Observe this: God does not place His Michkane above a place where a male and a female do not meet together, nor give His blessings as it is written: » He called them Adam the day He created them » Note that it says » them » and not » him ». The male cannot be called « male » until he is united with a female. « (Zohar I, 55b)
