The Fall Affects Marriage

Read Gen. 3:16-21

The woman naturally wants to boss a man, while the man naturally wants to use force over a woman. It is SUPERnatural for a woman to respect a man and for a man to treat a woman with kindness and understanding.

For women, the fall multiplied their conception and for men, their work was made hard.

In order to make their clothing, we see the first animal sacrifice, which was performed to cover their sin. And of course the subsequent generations would see much more blood shed for the remission of sin.

Read Deut. 24:5

Dad says this is a neat principle for a husband to learn to bring happiness to his wife..........no war or public duty for the first year of marriage!
