Eve's Mistakes: Marriage Warnings

Eve's mistake was to listen. 

Women have lots of good ideas. My husband always listens to what I have to say. In times when he's too busy with the PC to listen, I make him--with his permission, of course. But women should be careful what still small voice to listen to when they try to cook up ideas to share with their husbands.

It was a grand time to be living in Eden. It was the perfect spot on earth to be spending time alone with the perfect man and the perfect God. It was perfect! When everything's perfect like that, it's when most women get a lot of smart ideas. Smart ideas come from either your right or left--you "hear" them being suggested to you. And God willed that two sources of ideas were present in Eden--the tree of Life and the other called knowledge of good and evil. 

It's okay to hear ideas from the tree of knowledge, but one of Eve's mistakes was to listen. Listening is hearing, weighing, and deciding. Then it results to either buying or trashing the idea. Eve bought it and bit into it.

So how do you know what to buy and what to trash? Simple. If you're someone soaked in God's Word in the bible, you'll know. Eve knew but she stopped to listen to the wrong idea. She entertained the "prospects" of trying just how good (or bad) was the fruit--though she knew for certain that, "God did say we shouldn't eat it."

Oh, you will hear voices. It's not just the schizophrenic who hears voices. Normal people do, too. And the voices are either guidance or temptation. If you want a good and happy marriage, Second Eves, you have to distinguish well between the two--and make sure you pursue the guidance thing. Say, everything's going perfect, then suddenly a voice to your left suggests, "How about bringing up that subject to your husband now that he's in a good mood? You know--the one that so pissed him off before?"

It's okay to hear something like that. But to listen to it (Eve's mistake no.1), and to bite into it and tell your husband about it (Eve's mistake no.2) is detrimental to marriage. If you know for certain that it pissed him off before, why bring it up again? This seems obvious, yet I see too many couples fight over this kind of argument--which is often started by wives. Second Eves, being in God's present move, you should know better than that!

This might solve your money problems!
