The story of Adam and Eve: Lessons to all women in relationships

There is a certain message circulating on social media on Adam and Eve. When I got it the first time, I just laughed and gave it to Kenyans (if that was done by a Kenyan) for their creativity.

I got it the second time but the joke wasn’t as funny since I had already seen it before. I came across the same joke so many times it started feeling like an overkill.

The last time I saw it, I decided to look at differently this time and my mind captured the deep message that passed off as a stale joke the multiple times I appeared on my timeline.

 I can’t remember the exact words clearly but when I read it through my feminine lenses, I couldn’t help but marvel at how intelligent the message was; here are a few lessons I got out of the little joke on Adam and Eve.

Women are such powerful beings:

I know I might sound like a broken record, but women run the world. Eve convinced Adam to eat the apple and he did.

You don’t have to be pushy or arrogant to prove to the world you are powerful, you can always prove this through the simplest of ways like just preparing a nice meal for your loved one to have them do that one thing they have been postponing for so long.

Don’t mistake co-dependency for compromise:

After Eve gets the fruit, “she could be like, ‘I can keep it all to myself,’ but she doesn’t want to be entirely alone. Instead she went back to Adam.

Adam knows it’s wrong to eat the fruit, but he must have asked himself “Do I choose obligation and duty? Or do I choose companionship?” Share the best things in life with your loved one and always compromise if need be.

Love stories are written by two people, together.

While we see Adam and Eve through the perspective of the scriptures, the dual characters set a standard for relationship equality.

If Adam didn’t look at Eve as an equal in the union, he couldn’t have eaten the fruit. You have all it takes to influence your partner’s behaviour and their approach to different issues.
