The first task/responsibility God gave to Eve/women is:
Genesis 2:18 (NKJV) - And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Eve’s first role and responsibility the moment she becomes a wife is to be his help meet. Again, many women today see this as an insult because it is looked as making women subservient to men both in the natural and in the spirit, which is not true. The scripture does establish order for the family, but that is because we serve a God of order and not confusion and chaos, which is what we have when families operate outside of God’s divine order.
Ladies, what many of you have overlooked is that God has given you the ability to adapt to any situation and respond accordingly! This means that regardless of what God has called your husband to be or how God has structured the dynamics of your household, you are capable of not only adjusting to it, but helping your family to thrive!
The problem is most women have allowed society to pervert the role of the women in the family. You have been tricked into thinking that being called a help meet is a bad thing that makes you a slave to your husband, which is not true especially if you are married to a man who loves you as Christ loves the church. Women, God said it’s not good for man to be alone, but not merely for companionship sake, but because Adam needed Eve. We all heard that behind every great man there is a great or strong woman. This is a very true statement, but if God called the woman to be the one who is the mover and the shaker in the family, that is okay too. There is nothing wrong with the women being the primary income earner as the amount of money earned doesn’t make you head of the family; this is a worldly concept.
A woman being the primary income earner is just another facet of how God created women to be capable of operating in any capacity. So a woman can be anything from a housewife to a CEO of a corporation and still be obedient to God’s will for her life if she understands that in God’s eyes her husband is still head of the family.
Women, don’t be afraid or ashamed of operating the roles God created you for as none of them are insulting are belittling. Both Adam and Eve were made in the image of God and were both assigned roles and responsibilities according to God’s wishes. He knows and understands us better than we do ourselves and if both Adam and Even could get back to God’s original plan for the family we would see that it is a winning situation for both of husband and wife. Ladies, you should take pride in knowing that you are capable of being and doing whatever is necessary for your family; and you are able to adapt to whatever situation and environment you enter into once you get married.
This is a gift that God saw fit to bless Eve with because He knew that Adam needed help in more ways than Adam/men could ever realize!
