Dear Eve,

Did you ever think that maybe Yahweh literally promised you a man because He saw the need for you to have a partner in your life?

Based on what has been presented in most Bibles, it seems like you needed an attentive man. As you spoke to the snake, Adam stood next to you but did not engage in the conversation you were having. Adam did not object, ask questions, or ask for a contract to be drawn.

After you gave Adam the fruit, he did not object or ask you what happened. Adam immediately blamed you. Adam, it appears, was not a team player or a leader. I mean, Adam could have foreseen that questions were going to be raised, and you could have both presented a united front. But no! Adam didn’t blame the snake either; Adam blamed you. Maybe Adam’s loyalty was to the snake?
