Why does god want women to suffer during childbirth, and why does god want women to be "ruled" by men? "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee" Genesis 3:16

The Bible was written by men. It was convenient for them to write that women were to be subservient to men, and then say that God said it.
"Hey, honey, look! God says I rule over you. You can't argue with that...GOD said it!"

Remember when GOD Told Adam--cursed is the Earth-- After Adam sinned, GOD told him this, some People Think that GOD Cursed the Earth because Adam Sinned.

The Earth operates on Spiritual Laws--if you use Faith to operate them, you get Blessed. If you use Fear to operate them you get Cursed.

GOD didn't have to Curse Anything after Adam Sinned.
GOD was just Telling Adam what was agonna Happen, because Adam switched from Faith to Fear.
Those Laws operate on Automatic.
GOD put them in the Earth Many, Many Years befor HE put a Man or Woman on the Earth.

The problem is the fall in Eden. Just as bringing mankind into existence caused God grief, he gave that curse to women.

God created a natural set order of men first and that is all we know. He couldve very well did it the other way around I dont know. But as far as leading nations and families, he has put the role of leadership in the hands of men and he expects them to perform them. Women do have the submissive role but do remember that we are all accountable to God for our assigned jobs. Men are going to be accountable for how they ruled and how they loved their wives. Women are going to be judged on how they followed their husbands lead and how they raised the kids. Sometimes I wish perosnally that i didnt have the responsiblity of leading my family and sometimes my wife wishes she did. However we each need to be faithful to our duties and follow the natural order God created or there comes chaos, divorce, and battle of the sexes.

Because Eve ate the apple and gave some to Adam and Adam was created first. Don't worry, Man got cursed too.

17To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,'
"Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat of it
all the days of your life.

18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.

19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return."

Genesis 3:17-19

God made eve from Adams rib which is located in his side. He could of made her from his foot or tooth but he chose Adams side because Man and Woman were meant to be Equal partners in their relationship with one another. Satan Brought pain and suffering into this world. Not God!!!. Eve was first to accept Satan's offer. And now you know the rest of the story. men do suffer as well in this world. Remember Eve wasn't the only one who disobeyed God.But God is not the one who brought this to us. It was Satan himself.

Remember the apple, the snake, and the Garden of Knowledge of God and Evil?

It was Eve's direct punishment for disobeying God. Adam's direct punishment was that all of us now have to work for a living!

Their collective punishment was they got booted from the Garden of Eden.
