It is possibly much deeper than this but I believe it is about loyalty, trust and physical desire for the husband.

Remember. Genesis 3:16 is a curse on Eve’s once loving and submissive relationship with her husband.

Here’s a helpful hint: Check the literary construction in the following verse. The application is different but construction is the same.



Genesis 4:7

7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, 👉sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”👈

The desire to control is the idea

The desire of women in Isaiah 4:1 was for their husband, but young women must be trained to love their husbands in Titus 2:4.

You have to read the verse in context, and not just take a phrase out of context. You can't separate it from, "And he shall rule over you." It is the description of the role God gave to the woman. She glorifies God and receives joy and fulfillment when the husband is the leader of the home the way God intended. God is not a feminist.

My take on it is a woman can be strongly feminine (as a person and in childbirth) too. The husband will be the provider and protector of the marriage and home.

Ephesians 5:22-24

New International Version



22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

It means the woman will be driven by an impulse to exercise dominion over the (her) man.



📖 Gen 3:16 (Hebrew: thshuqth·u / "impulse-of-you" / said to the woman, concerning her impulse toward her man)

📖 Gen 4:7 (hebrew: thshuqth·u / "impulse-of-him" / said to Cain about sin's impulse toward Cain)

So women, like sin, desire to have us.
