Gen 3:1-3 Satan goes to the woman, she misquotes God. Man was there too and either did not correctly communicate to the woman the command he was given or at least did not argue with the serpent, nor protected and corrected the woman when she misquoted the command.
Man sins and allows sin to enter creation
Gen 3:12 Man does not take responsibility and then blames the woman and God.
Gen 3:16 Man and woman will compete for leadership; however, man will always be designed as "head" of the relationship. He will be called to "rule" which makes him more responsible for his relationship.
Gen 3:17 Because man chose to follow his wife instead of God and disobeyed His one commandment, his work will be hard.
Gen 3:23 Man is sent out of the garden to work hard for the rest of his limited life.
What was man's responsibility in this instance?
How did he participate in the fall?
What should he have done?
After he made the wrong choice, how should he have responded?
What are your current responsibilities?
What is/are the hardest part(s) of your responsibilities?
When you fail, especially because of your choices, how do you typically respond?
Is there a better or even best way to respond in these instances?
How and why are some ways/reasons people have a problem with the man having "rule" over the woman in a marriage?
How can you prepare, or act in a way that no woman would have a problem with your "ruling" title?
We should always be ready to consider opinions and have a foundation of truth that will not waiver when addressed with fallacies. Are you ready and willing to consider the opinion and advice of your wife?
If it is a challenge to take time to consider your wife's (or future wife's) input, why is that?
What "heart" change can you make in order to receive your wife's input?
How do you view "work", especially if you feel like you are either solely or helping to provide for your family?
