Before sin entered the world, husband and wife functioned as one unified being—Adam and "female Adam"—with no dynamic of control or dominance. Adam didn't stop his wife from eating the fruit not because he failed as a controller, but because control wasn't part of God's original design. After the fall, blame entered and the curse distorted marriage: the wife would desire to control, and the husband would rule over her. This struggle for dominance is the broken, cursed version of marriage we still see today. God never rebuked Adam for not controlling his wife—He held each person accountable for their own actions. True, godly leadership is not control but shepherding, serving, and guiding, and true submission is voluntary, not coerced. To build marriages God's way, couples must move away from the curse-driven fight for control and return to God's original design of unity, mutual service, and oneness.
