Marriage Conflict

The context of Genesis 3:16 suggests that there was not a happy future in store for the woman. She would experience pain in childbirth, experience conflict with her husband, and suffer domination at his hands. Fallen Adam, representing fallen men, would treat her as a child, an inferior, and an unequal. In a word, he would oppress her. How, then, should we understand this prediction?
