Adam Was Never Deceived, (Stop using that as an excuse to hate or dislike your wife).

I Timothy 2:14 says "And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and deluded and fell into transgression" (Amplified Bible).

Many unwise married men today, use this useless philosophy to hate or dislike their wives. They feel that their wife(wives) is(are) full of;

• Deceit
• Craftiness
• Lies
• Bad vibes.

They feel that it's because of the woman called Eve, that made man (Adam) loose his sanity and loss the garden of Eden, which should have been where they should have been, without struggling to make a living today. Well this ideology is for lazy boys, not even men, because they have loss the right to manliness. Hence they are no longer men.

Genesis 3:6 says "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband "with her", and he did eat" (KJV).

Did you take note of the word "with her". So Adam was surely there when his wife, Eve was about eating the fruit. It wasn't as though Eve made the decision without the presence, permission or even consent of her husband (Adam). Adam was definitely there. 

But here lies the problem. Adam loss dominion because he tried to please his wife at the expense of displeasing God. And in so doing he couldn't control his wife and her decisions. This was the opposite case for Job, when his wife told him to curse God and die. Check Job 2:9.

These are some of the reasons Apostle Paul said it was better to be single than married.

I Corinthians 7:38 "So the man who marries does well, but the one who doesn't marry does even better" (Good News Bible).

The fact you chose to marry, means you're ready to face;

1. The flaws and the strengths.

2. The bad times and the good times.

3. The progress and the static moments. 

4. The times of good health and bad health. 

5. The times of pride(arrogance) and humility.

For more clearer understanding on how Adam loss his dominion see what Genesis 2:15-17 says "And the LORD God took the man, put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (KJV).

From the above verse, it was Adam God told concerning the forbidden fruit from the very beginning. Eve wasn't even created yet, as at that time. Eve was created in verse 22. 

So whose fault is it now??

It was the fault of Adam, for not teaching his wife (Eve) the actual and true instructions of God.

If you see the downfall of Man in Genesis 3:12 "And the man said, the woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat" (KJV).

Adam tried to blame God for the mistake he (Adam) has made. Adam didn't want to take responsibility for his wife's disobedience. That is how also a lot of unwise married men are today. They dislike their wife for what a woman (Eve) did in the beginning of creation. 

Learn to accept your mistake as the man and not shift the blame to your wife, because there is one fact you should know here today;

"YOUR WIFE IS A COMPLETE REPLICA OF WHO YOU TRULY ARE".

So if she makes a mistake, it's because you as her husband, your own lifestyle is at fault too.

Don't forget in Genesis 2:23 which says "And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man" (KJV).

Your wife is a reflection of what you really are (bone of your bones and flesh of your flesh), because she was taken out of you.

Be careful not to point an accusing finger when your wife is at fault, because you're also pointing at your own mistake. Because she is your self replica.
