control struggle

There has been a struggle between men and women from the beginning of the “Fall.” 

 You can take from this what you want ... 

but God revealed to Eve, after the sin that led to the curse on creation, that “your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you” (Genesis 3:16b) 

 If you were to study out this wording used here with what God said to Cain, when his offering was not accepted as was Abel's, you would find the desire of the one is to control the other: “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And *its desire is for you, but you shall rule over it*” (Genesis 4:7) 

 The desire is to control. 

 Hasn't this been the struggle whether in relationships or inordinate desire?
