whether wives should be "ruled" by their husbands is too big an issue for this one clause of one verse
=== Genesis ===
=== Genesis ===
The Bible says that women, like men, were created by God on the 6th day of [[Creation]], as told in The Book of [[Genesis]]. [[Genesis]] further elaborates that [[God]] took a rib from [[Adam]], the first man, and from it created [[Eve]], the first woman, as a helper for [[Adam]]. According to some biblical literalists, Eve caused sin and suffering to come into the world when she got Adam to eating from The Tree of Knowledge an act directly forbidden by God Himself. As punishment for this, God declared that women shall experience great pain in childbirth and shall always be ruled over by their husbands. <ref>Genesis 3:16</ref>
