Gender Opposition

Why do some men and women hate and blame the opposite sex for their unhappiness? This is an age old problem that started in the Garden of Eden when Adam blamed the women for his personal choice to eat the forbidden fruit. The woman blamed the serpent for her personal choice to disobey God and eat the fruit. Today this blame game is still operating between men and women. When things are not going well in their relationships they blame one another.


Why is blame an enemy to the male/female union? Blame directs individuals away from personal responsibility. When a person transfers his/her responsibility for self to their partner, it causes resentment, bitterness and hatred.

To avoid blaming one another, partners must become accountable for their own well being. In other words, a wholesome relationship is not built on pointing the finger at one’s partner. This behavior puts too much responsibility on the other person; whereas, a united effort to resolve conflicts bring balance and unity to the relationship. This means the male/female connection involves two people working together for the longevity of a healthy union. Such unity eliminates all hatred and blame.
