Garden of Eden

Adam looked at all the animals that he was to rule over and saw that each one had a partner. There were a male and female of each kind; yet, he did not have a mate. This made him sad; therefore, God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep so that he could take a rib from Adam's side to create mother of all disaster.

Eve was created to be Adam's companion and things went downhill from there.

Maybe having everything at her fingertips was not enough or having the perfect specimen of a husband was getting old. Eve wanted more and the serpent knew it. Tempting her with the hope of wisdom came easily and Eve only needed to bat her eyes at Adam to get him to also eat the forbidden fruit.

The relationship between Adam and Eve was the first relationship between a man and woman and every relationship has suffered the same hardships since the fall of man from the Garden of Eden. On the surface of Earth Eve was the first to feel human labor pain. Pushing out watermelon size Kane & Abel.

After being banished from the Garden, Adam was hit by reality and harsh conditions what human life has to endure. He had to work in the field to have food, construct house to protect his family and many such task causing less time for two of them to focus on each other. Adam and Eve were never known as romantic couple on earth and to this day, once the initial romance fades, couples have to return to the real world where work, family, and other responsibilities take precedence.

The secret to a successful relationship lies in the Garden of Eden, a place that we are forbidden to enter. So I say until the gates of paradise are opened and the angels move aside, all we can do is eat as many apples as we desire.
