Genesis 3:16 • Thus began the struggle that continues to this day between a man and his wife. Control is the key, as well as submission to the order God established from the beginning. From my experience, divorce is rooted in this scripture, “...you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.” Just as Adam relinquished control of obeying God’s directive, so did I, with both of my marriages. I did not rule, nor was I the head of either of the households God entrusted to me. I’ve been paying the price of my unwillingness to obey God’s order with solitude ever since. Even today, as I wait for the opportunity to see Erika and Jonathan at noon at South Mission Beach, my children are being controlled by their mother. I lost/gave up control three decades ago, succumbing to the false narrative that ran through my mind, that I was powerless against Megan’s assertiveness.
