Genesis 3:12

The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

From Background Notes [BN] for October 5^th & 6^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

It is out of such alienation and blame-laying that marriages suffer damage and, in some case, divorce. But God is unwilling to allow such separation to become the final state of the relationship.

 

By intervening, God passes judgment on the offending Serpent, and then proceeds to clothe the human pair with skins from animals God Himself must have slain expressly for the sake of human redemption. Indeed, only redemption can restore the brokenness of marriage. We find that powerfully illustrated in the events following the Fall. [BN,8]
