[HERn]

To me the fiasco of Adam failing Eve in her hour of need with the tree and the serpent shows that wives should ultimately look to and trust in their God rather than their husbands. Wives may be to their husbands as Christ is to His Father, but the Father never demanded anything from the Son, the Son freely submitted to His Father. Husbands can demand nothing from their wives. But where the wife freely offers her love and respect to her husband (who does not deserve it) there you will find a little bit of heaven on earth.
