The Fall turns God’s harmonious design
upside down. After the Fall, men don’t want to
serve, but want to be served. Women don’t want to be helpers in their great
mission but see men’s lives and responsibilities as more appealing.
Does this ring a bell? Doesn’t this remind us of our society? This is where we find ourselves today.
The creation account gives us the big picture of God’s design for our lives. To be wise is to acknowledge His gifts and our unique differences: to celebrate, cultivate and enjoy them. The only way that we can hope for truly happy and fulfilled lives is by embracing God’s design for our lives.
This applies to us both as individuals and also when thinking about our marital relationships. We need to understand ourselves, who we are, what we are made for, what we long for deep in our hearts, and then, by God’s grace, we can strive to live accordingly.
These differences are wonderful – let’s rejoice in them!
