“I don’t think that Genesis 3:16 is all about everyone’s marriage.”

Of course it isn’t in application. Not all husbands “rule” over their wives, for example. But don’t you believe all husbands have an inclination to rule and that relates directly back to this verse?

“I do believe that it shows Adam’s rebellion and the tendency for the majority of men to struggle with wanting to control shows that somehow this tendency has come through Adam’s sons. Some women also have a sin problem with control, but typically it is far less in women then in men.”

Not so! Men tend to enforce control through physical means, making it much more visible to the outside world. But that is no proof that men are more controlling, just that they go about it in a different way than women.
