Do Wives Desire To Destroy Their Husbands As a Result of the Fall?
CBMW'S interpretation of Genesis 3:16 "Thy desire shall be to thy husband," is that all women have a natural desire to dominate and rule over their husbands.
Bruce Ware and John MacArthur of The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood teach this is what that verse means and (along with many others) aggressively promote this view to the mainstream Christian community.
They base their argument on a comparison of Genesis 3:16 with Genesis 4:7 where sin is depicted as a lion crouching at the door (in preparation for a kill) and the lion's DESIRE is to destroy Cain.
By extension, those who promote this view, must also believe that all wives have a natural tendency to desire the utter destruction of their husbands--not just to rule over them.
Does this argument hold water?

Following the reasoning of The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood via Bruce Ware and John MacArthur, in interpreting Genesis 3:16 [when taken in context and compared with Song of Solomon 7:10], the argument of CBMW holds no water.
The Council is teaching false doctrine. Their destructive argument perpetuates the curse that Adam embraced, God Prophesied, and that Jesus set free from.
