Husbands teach your wives - Genesis 1-3

In the day and age we live in you have to be very careful how you address the relationship between husbands and wives. Women's rights groups and politically correct thinking have conditioned us to think certain ways in regard to men and women. But, God's Word has some specific teaching and examples in this area. One example is found in Gensis two and implies that husbands should teach and instruct their wives. In 2:15, 16 we have the instruction of God to Adam to not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, in 2:17 we have the beginning of the account of Eve’s creation. Since v. 16 states that God instructed the “man” about the tree and not to eat its fruit and since the account of the creation of Eve comes after that instruction to Adam, we should assume that Eve was told about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil by Adam, not because she had firsthand instuction from God. The implication here is that men are responsible to teach their wives about God’s Word. In 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 women are actually instructed to learn from their husbands. Men have an awesome responsibility to teach their families about God and His ways.
