Where in the Bible does it say that Eve was taken from Adam’s left rib?
I have only read that she was taken from his side. It doesn’t say this anywhere in the Bible. It is a later mythological tradition. In this era of two-income families, I am looking for direction on family finances. My husband provided well for our family while our children were growing up and I was not working. As soon as I went back to work after we become empty nesters, the problems started. Should all the income go to one account and be budgeted jointly? We did that, but my husband treated the joint account as “his,” and if he wanted to spend $500 on an item, he did. I, on the other hand, had to get any purchase I wanted to make “pre-approved.” I see in Proverbs 31 a woman who seems to have total control of her money; she is able to make business decisions independently of her husband. I have read several of the current Christian budget books and find no clear direction on this dilemma. Please help! Finances are always a touchy subject in a family, as they reflect the level of trust
