VIII. MAIN BODY:

Genesis 3:17 (Amplified Bible)

And to Adam He said, Because you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it, the ground is under a curse because of you; in sorrow and toil shall you eat [of the fruits] of it all the days of your life.

Genesis 3:17 (New King James Version)

Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.

A. GOD said, "Because you have listened to your wife to eat the fruit of the tree that is forbidden to be eaten"

"And to Adam He said, Because you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it,"

Hearkened, listened or "shama" in Hebrew language meaning, "to hear intelligently, with implication of attention, obedience, consent, consider, diligently, discern, give ear, understand, regard, report"

Because adam decided not to intervene listening to her wife, rather than GOD. Now wives nowadays will get angry with you if you will not listen to them. That's why the man has to listen to GOD and rely the message of GOD to his wife and both will listen to GOD. Of course GOD will talk to men, if men are devoted and committed to their worship time with GOD. Men or husbands therefore are the spiritual leaders as well in their household. A silent husband is a failure and loser husband. He must always be talking the oracles and decisions of GOD to share to his wife. It's not the other way around. The devil tries to destro the family by reversing it, nowadays women talk a lot in the household and the family is destroyed, the husband leaves instead for another "silent" woman.

Proverbs 21:9 (Amplified Bible)

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop [on the flat oriental roof, exposed to all kinds of weather] than in a house shared with a nagging, quarrelsome, and faultfinding woman.

Judges 16:16 (Amplified Bible)

And when she pressed him day after day with her words and urged him, he was vexed to death.

It will always be the wife who will say to her husband to touch what belongs to GOD. In our days, this is our tithes and offering, don't listen to your wife if he tells you this because tithes and offerings symbolizes our submission to GOD, and not to money, we declare with this actions of faith that GOD is our Liberal Supplier and not money. GOD then multiplies the purchasing power of the money that we have.
