"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."
Before we come to the sorow let us begin with two names the Holy Spirit has chosen to give Eve. Adam shall claim rule over because she is a woman," And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." (2.23). It is in the sense we have Sarah acknowledging Abraham as her master. "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went."(Heb.11.8). St Peter comments on it as her proper duty, "Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well"(1 Pet.3.6). Second name comes after the fall of man. "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." (3.20) In the first instance the woman was created 'after our likeness' and second she is after our image, the mother of all living. As such her faith was her own responsibility. The man had nothing to do with it. In order to draw this distinction In the list of heroes Sarah holds her own special place. "Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised." (Heb.11.10-13) She also died in faith, which makes her faith her own.In short rule of man over her goes only as far she was beguiled by the serpent and not the man.. It shall always evoke the head and bride of Christ motif. 'Male and female created he them. Christ holds Wisdom, the female principle while God is Power principle. So 'bone of my bones' sets marriage on sound principles of God. In the other she leaves her father and mother for becoming one flesh.

Lastly the curse was on her conception.
