Book Cover & Preview Text
It’s important to realize that in every relationship there are at least four entities influencing the outcome. They are: God, Satan, the man and the woman. Simultaneously, we will reveal God’s will, Satan’s plot and biblical wisdom to sustain the marriage relationship.
Every marriage has its’ challenges, but there are valuable lessons to be learned from Adam and Eve. In one day they lost their exclusive face-to-face relationship with God, their property was foreclosed, pain and death were inevitable and hard work was inescapable. Life for them would never be the same.
Adam and Eve’s choices have had a perpetual affect on the relationship between husbands and wives. Although there are a variety of obstacles in every marriage, in this chapter we will address three areas that Satan targeted from the beginning: communication, authority and intimacy.
Webster’s Dictionary defines communication as the act of communicating; exchange of ideas; conveyance of information, as a letter or message. God set a standard by illustrating that words produce life or death (Proverbs
Effective communication is critical to every relationship. It involves speaking, listening and responding properly. Communication is a continual exchange of ideas which can be verbal or non verbal. As the old cliché goes, sometimes action speaks louder than words.
God left no room for assumption for the male and female to figure out his plan, so he communicated it in Genesis 1:26-30. They were created in his image and He was specific as to how they were to operate on earth: Be fruitful, multiply, replenish and subdue.
In chapter two (v.16-17) God gives Adam a specific command. He isn’t vague but says exactly what He means and means what He says.
Next, God makes Eve for Adam and after Adam recognizes that she is his helper, God gives more instructions: Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
First vital point once married: Leave the residence and influence of your parents. Parents can offer much needed

About the Book
In “Adam’s Rib”, Janice lays forth patterns for marriage in the new millennium. Her candid revelations of the personal struggles she and her husband Kevin encountered while being processed into one flesh leap off the pages and into the homes of virtually every man and woman that have taken vows of love and commitment.
The chapters flow from God’s original intent when He created mankind to the deception that always finds itself lurking around purpose and fulfillment. She tackles the issue of deception by exploring the original purpose for Eve as both a woman equally created and hidden in Adam, and a wife positionally submitted along side Adam. The book provides a pattern to recounting the delicate areas of conjugal relationship and family duties that must be recaptured and placed into the “family system”.
What does this book offer? Through fresh revelations, honesty and real life experiences, this book provides restoration to the family through relationship development; emotional healing through self-examination and forgiveness; and glory to God as truth is revealed, understood and applied in your life. Adam's Rib was written to promote the fact that everything God made was good, especially a helper who is suitable, adaptable and complimentary.
