5 reasons you can’t avoid God and still expect a happy marriage

3. Focusing on God removes the whiny victim-centric view of the relationship.

God reached out to Adam after the globe-changing fruit incident, but Adam’s response shows a lack of awareness of his moral culpability. “I was afraid, because I was naked.  I hid myself.”  Orlund points out, “Even a lost little boy knows better when his father finally shows up.  But Adams slinks around like a victim, unable to trust God and face himself and comfort his broken hearted wife.”  This shows that God-avoidance doesn’t allow us to get real with what’s happened and what needs to change.
