What does “Your desire will be for your husband” mean? Ask NT Wright

What does Genesis really mean when it says a woman’s “desire will be for your husband and he shall rule over you"? Should Christians still tithe today? And are Oneness Pentecostals outside historic Christianity?
In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three major theological questions shaping modern Christianity.
Together they explore Genesis 3:16 and whether the fall introduced distorted power dynamics into marriage. Next, the conversation turns to tithing: was the Old Testament tithe a permanent command for Christians, or part of Israel’s covenant life? Tom discusses the role of generosity in the New Testament and why Christian giving should flow from gratitude rather than obligation.
Finally, Mike and Tom discuss Oneness Pentecostalism and the doctrine of the Trinity.

Q1 XX:XX What does Genesis 3:16 mean in the latter half of the verse when it states: “and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”?
Q2 XX:XX Is tithing from the Mosaic law still to be practiced in the modern, Western church?
Q3 XX:XX Do you need to believe in the Trinity to be saved? What does this mean for the Oneness Pentecostalism doctrine which doesn't affirm the Trinity?
