Every marriage is based on the first marriage.
The story of the Bible is that God made Adam first as the head and leader of the family.
He names the woman, that is a headship and leadership act.
At this point, everything is called good, but there is one thing that is not good, and that is for man to be alone.
So God creates a woman to be man’s helper.
This is not a denigrating term.
There are places in Psalms and Hebrews declares himself to be our helper.
Husband and wife are to work together in complementary fashion, like a right hand and a left hand.
That the husband is to be the leader, and the woman is to be the helper, and that they are to work together.
God then brings them together.
He officiates the first wedding- one man, one woman, one covenant as one flesh for one lifetime.
God lays out a process for all men to follow in Genesis 2:
First, leave your mother and father.
Peter echoes this, Paul echoes this, and Jesus echoes this.
That means men need to grow up, move out, get a job, worship God, pay their own bills, stand on their own two feet, and take care of themselves.
If and when they do that, then God says they can marry- find a woman, love her. and enjoy the fruit of marital union.
They become one flesh and enjoy marital intimacy, biblically.
Be a man first, then find a wife.
Everything was fine until Gen 3. Satan comes and tempts Eve, but Eve, rather than ignoring or rebuking him, she engages him.
Puritans said, “while Adam was away, Eve fell astray.”
That’s not true.
Eve fell while Adam was right there.
Sins of comission- did something I shouldn’t.
Sins of omission- not doing something you should do.
Adam’s sin of omission by not loving his wife, standing up and leading his family.
When God calls, who does he call for?
Adam.
God held Adam accountable for the sins of the family because he was the head of the family.
Jesus is the head of the Church, that’s why he pays the penalty for our sins.
God holds both men and women accountable, but there is an additional burden on the head- that is the man.
Because of this, there’s a curse.
And the woman’s curse is pain in childbearing and that she misrust and distrust her husband, and that she will have many fears that will cause her to want to domineer her husband.
That Eve will want to rule over Adam like sin wants to rule over Cain in the next chapter of Genesis.
And you know this curse is still in effect and some women try to rule over their husbands through
crying and manipulation, or sex, or threatening, or being sweet or being pushy or being naggy or being bossy
And they are trying to play their husbands like marionettes do puppets.
That’s their curse.
The man’s curse is that his wife won’t easily respect him, and that his work is difficult.
This is why work is hard.
And ever since the curse, the gender wars ensued.
And as a result, men, not understanding masculinity in general and marriage in particular tend to go one of two ways:
Cowardice.
They are passive men, like Adam.
They avoid responsibility.
They avoid conflict.
They dump parts of their curse on their wife.
2. Chauvinism.
They don’t want to be passive like their father, Adam, and so they overcompensate.
And the become chauvinists and thugs and jerks.
And the history of the world is marked by these two men.
And men have a proclivity toward one of these two, or both depending on circumstance.
There are some ways these come out.
I’ll start with chauvinism first.
Chauvinists don’t understand masculinity or how to treat a woman.
There are four basic versions of this failure that I know of.
No-Sissy Stuff Sam:
Doesn’t know what a man is.
He just knows that a man is not a woman, so whatever a woman is, he’s going to be opposite.
Maybe you had this dad:
Mom hugs, so he doesn’t.
Mom says she loves you, so he doesn’t.
Mom kisses you, so he doesn’t because that’s girl stuff.
He doesn’t understand that both men and women are made in the image and likeness of God, and that they both have the same emotions and passions and experiences and express them in typically masculine or feminine ways, but that being a man is not the opposite of being a woman.
Both are made in the image of God.
Some men think that being a man is someone who can belch the loudest, spit the farthest, fart the stinkiest, shoot the best, and punch the hardest.
That’s not a man.
That’s a joke.
There’s no woman praying for God to send her that.
2. Success and Status Stewart:
Leftover jock.
He defines himself by what he has and does.
He flaunts his success and possessions.
Everything is a trophy including his wife.
And her job is to be quiet and look pretty and make him look good as another notch on his belt.
And he doesn’t love her well- doesn’t serve her well.
He cares more about his possessions than he does about his family.
3. Give ‘em Heck Hank:
Violent.
Short temper.
Rude.
Crude.
Mean.
He’s harsh.
He’s intimidating.
He’s overbearing.
He’s scary.
4. I’m the Boss Brian:
He’s the king.
He’s telling everyone what to do.
Barking out orders to wife and kids.
They tend to want to be in authority, but not under authority.
he thinks being a man means being bossy.
And they are the worst in a church.
They show up, they want to be in charge of everything, and no one can tell them what to do, and when you rebuke them, they just leave, taking their wife and kids with them, making them suffer for their folly.
Those are the chauvinists.
Now for the cowards:
Little boy Lance:
He’s a total sweetheart.
Can’t keep a job.
Forgets to set his alarm.
