The Perfect Wife And Mother (1 of 6)
Series: Strengthening The Fragile Home

Genesis 3:14-4:2
At church one morning, a Sunday School teacher was about to start her 4-year-olds' class when a little boy showed up at the last minute without any identification. The teacher managed to get his first name, but couldn't find out his last name.
''Brian, what's your daddy's name?'' she asked.
''Daddy,'' he replied.
She tried again, ''Well, Brian, what's your mommy's name?''

Now, what I found really odd was that when I went looking for other sermons on Eve I found didn't many that talked about her being a ''mother''. Out of all the sermons I saw there only 2 or 3 that addressed that part of her life.
And that makes sense when you think about it. I mean, let's face it, the only part of the Bible story remember about Eve is the day she made a poor choice and ruined things for mankind. And I think that's a real shame, because I believe there's so much to be learned from this first mother of mankind.
For example - the 1st thing we need to realize is that she was the perfect woman. I mean she had to be. She was created by God to be what Adam needed in his life.
