First of all, just like Adam, Eve was never born. Neither was she created from the dust of the ground. She was 'taken' from INSIDE of Adam. Everything that was a part of Adam, was now a part of Eve. She had a different body than he did because God wanted them to have children and raise them to love and obey Him. Her curse was not in bearing children. Her curse in Gen. 3:16 was that God would greatly multiply her pain in childbirth. A lot of you ladies will testify to that.
The myth of "opposites attract" was not a marital opinion set forth by God. He took Adam's feelings, his personality, his loves, his desires-----everything Adam was---Eve was. She just had a different body. What he liked, she liked. How he felt about something, she felt the same way. What made him happy, made her happy. That's called walking in unity. Personally, it should be preached from the pulpit that just as sure as hell is hot, couples should run away from "I know we have our differences, but---" when they are considering marriage. It is not a God option. Will God work with it? If you marry and serve God, He has to.
But, is it boring being married to someone pretty much like you? Marriage is ALWAYS what two people relying on God make it. With what married couples have to go through today, it would help tremendously if they started off agreeing with each other. I know some of you out there have opinions. Let's hear them.
Now my point about Adam.
Here is a man who has someone walking with him that shares his same likes and dislikes. The difference is, and still remains, that women are a little more fragile and they tend to be more emotional than men. Men on the other hand have this instinct to hear their spouses laugh and love to see them happy----no matter what they have to do. (I'm talking about when you first started out. Not the way some have wound up after years of being together.)
I can see where Adam was so filled with love for his mate that he would do virtually anything to make her happy. Does that sound familiar guys? We'll do anything to see her smile? We only laugh when we have done something that makes her laugh? I know. It might not be that way now but it once was. Could it have been that Adam was so deeply in love with Eve that he wanted her to have ANYTHING that would make her happy?
What do you think?
