"To Adam he said, 'Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, "You must not eat of it,"'"
"'Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.'" Genesis 3:17
So now, because the man didn't stop his wife from breaking God's one command to them, God is cursing the ground. Man's punishment for not being the "man of the house" is he will have to work hard to provide food for his family. Even now our sins don't just affect us, they affect the people and the world around us.
How many of us have secret, private sins that we think will only affect us? Can we even imagine all the consequences of these sins?
