In an effort to empower my sisters (and myself) I'm taking a journey through the Bible and noting all of the women in there and what we can learn from them. The journey begins with Eve, the first woman. Mother of the beginning, and official scapegoat.
The first thing most people think when they hear the name Eve is "aint she the broad who bit the apple?"
First off, sweeties, it wasn't an apple, it was fruit. (Gen.3:6)
Secondly, they both ate of the fruit. Just so happens, Eve ate first.
It's a shame and a disservice to women everywhere to write her off negatively because of this happenstance.
My takeaway from good old Eve is that she knew what to do or say to persuade her husband. As a helpmeet, that is a PLUS! A wife SHOULD know how to get her husband to say yes. What she is getting him to say "yes" to, however, is what's more important. Is it yes to HER will, God's will, or something he wants to do anyway, but needs assurance in that area?
What is it that you want your HUSBAND to say yes to? And if he's not your husband, what steps are you taking to get him to say YES (or "I do") to you?
