We can all get easily lead away by our emotions. Over my lifetime it's been emotional outbursts, on my part, that have produced some of the biggest angst for me. And marketing is all about playing on people's emotions. Why? Because if the emotions are engaged, that's when they are very likely the most vulnerable. For instance, in auto sales school, they teach to ask people "So what color could you see yourself in?" And this is more typically asked of the female. (guys are often more interested in mechanicals & stats . . . color is much further down the list . . . though there certainlyy is emotion around a powerful engine!
)
And I completely agree that woman was brought to man as a helper, and is so nicely complementary - man & woman are complimentary to each other. These complementary characteristics can work really well in parenting I think. And I so appreciate my wife's insights and strengths on a wide variety of things. But that means there are also things that are not strengths. Equal, but different for a reason.
So what did the devil know when he approached Eve with his scheme? Why did he go to her first, and not Adam? (I think he probably knew that going through Eve was a good way to get to Adam and that it would be difficult for him to resist Eve. Therefore he went to Eve first.)
