Bible Note: Melanie Reread Genesis 3:16 To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you." Your right women by nature prefer their husbands even when they find it might be distasteful. Notice later we see Jesus orders men to love their wives he never had to give that command to a wife. The husband was also given to be the head of family, “he will rule over you”. Jesus defined what that meant, and your right a woman’s place is a place of high esteem, however the husband is still the head. The man is to love, honor, respect, cherish, care for, protect and even be willing to die for his wife. But he is also the tie breaker. That is not to say his wife is his slave, servant, or a piece of meat for sexual gratification, but rather a partner, help mate, advisor, confidant, back watcher, lover, but the husband is still the tie breaker. What Genesis 3:16 and Jesus said other places is this very simply. When a decision must be made and neither can agree, the husband is the final voice. EdB |
