What a clown show!

The church I'm now in went through a portion of Genesis a little while back related to marriage, as well as the verses about husbands loving their wives as their own bodies, and loving as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her. It struck me that this comment of Adam's (finger pointing at the woman) after they ate of the tree was the dead opposite of God's intention for the marriage relationship. Instead of giving himself up for his wife, Adam went in the other direction and distanced himself from her and threw her under the bus! Not exactly a picture of loving his wife as himself and with sacrificial love!
