#399 Adam and Eve and the Partnership of Marriage, part 2

Feb 16, 2026

How the world views Mother Eve is how the world views women. Doctrine from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that Eve was intelligent and courageous, that she understood that partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was the only way to put into motion the plan of our Heavenly Parents which allowed each of us to come to earth. So, she is revered and seen as an equal to Adam, unlike how she is often seen in many other spaces throughout the world. From this perspective though, our whole understanding and reverence for Adam and Eve and their equal partnership shifts, and this shift also changes our ideas about what it means to be in a marriage relationship. I’m joined today by Kenn Kuaea, a member of one of the LDS congregations in American Samoa.
