Was Adam married to Eve?

Published in Biblical Marriage 1 min read

Yes, according to religious texts, Adam was married to Eve.

After the Fall, the narrative in Genesis (and corresponding accounts like Moses 4:22) implies a reaffirmed marital relationship between Adam and Eve. God addresses Eve regarding her desire for her husband and his rule over her (Genesis 3:16; Moses 4:22). He also refers to Eve as Adam's wife when addressing Adam (Genesis 3:17), solidifying their union. This indicates that their bond was not dissolved but rather altered by the consequences of their actions. Thus, through biblical accounts, it's clear that Adam and Eve were considered husband and wife.
