English term or phrase: Nothing else fitted his needs
Finally, of course, Adam needed Eve for physical fulfilment and to help him propagate the human race. God had given a command to all his creation that they should increase (Genesis 1:22), but Adam had no one suitable for him; he needed someone to be specially made, so that he and she would be a perfect fit. Anything else would be unproductive and therefore unnatural. ***Nothing else fitted his needs*** like she did. She was a perfect match.

neutral  JaneTranslates: Entonces ¿cómo expresarías la siguiente oración? Se ha omitido el elemento de que nada ni nadie más podría llenar ese hueco. Una pizza puede ser "justo lo que necesitaba," pero si me dan fish & chips, podría decir lo mismo.//Please see my discussion entry

acá ya puedes jugar un poco: nada encajaba, nada (ni nadie)satisfacía sus necesidades...excepto ella.
